    Found it! First of all I am going to adjust it one click tighter. I don’t have the fancy kingpin simulation tool but I know it’s not as tight as it should be. I also need to clean it up and replace the spring farthest to the right on the diagram. Mine is stretched and not holding the jaw open.

    Glad you figured it out. Only thing is I am not sure if you can get the spring.
