i replaced the main spring with the new one i bought from notenboom in the netherlands and the varying speed issue has been fixed. UNFORTUNATELY the diaphragm that ken priestley sent to me had a hole in it and i sent it back and he gave me a refund. he doesn't have anymore in stock and i'm stuck with the original holed one that i have. i patched it up the best that i could but i don't know if the distortion is caused by airleaks or not.
anyway i made a recording and uploaded it here:

i want to thank everyone on this forum who has helped me out, cheers!
