I'm fairly new to this but here's my problem. When I activate my F lever it does not return all the way leaving my E off key. I have a GFI SD-10. Does anyone know of a simple fix to this. Thanks to all!!

One E, or 2 Es or 3?
Does it return if you reach under the guitar and pull the lever back toward your knee? |

It only happens on the 4th string. If I pull it back it goes back to where it should.

That tends to make me suspect that the problem is friction in the lever or pull rods, rather than in the changer. Maybe something in the lever or pull rod is rubbing, or not moving freely.
Nevertheless it is always a good idea to look at the changer itself. Perhaps the end of a broken string is stuck in there. |

you have the "ole nylon tuner" turned in to far. one of them on that string is against the changer, one will find them selfs turning these when the strings begin to wear and no longer is able to do its job over time one of the nylon tuners will be turned in to far and ride against the changer, how to fix it is to back all the nylon tuners thats on that string all the way back where you know for sure they are not against the changer, then tune open, then tune your pedal and knees.
