Does anyone have a solution to this. When I hit the lever in this picture the reproducer goes down however when I raise it the reproducer fails to go up. Any solutions?

Thanks

Kris,

Your problem description is a bit vague and somewhat confusing. You state, "When I hit the lever in this picture the reproducer goes down however when I raise it the reproducer fails to go up."

For it to go down, it has to start from the up position, right? If it fails to go up, how do you get it in the up position so it can then go down when you hit the lever?

The reproducer doesn’t go all the way up. The links explain the issue

Thanks everyone for the help
