Topic: C-6 string 7 not returning to pitch |

Looking for some help. Seems like I had this problem before, but forgot how I solved it !
String 7- C raise to C#, pedal 8.
Release pedal, comes back sharp. If I push the pedal up with my toe, it comes back to pitch.
One thing that comes to mind, is I recently removed a string-1 raise, and moved it to pedal 5. I use a high G on C-6.
I replaced a helper spring and adjusted changer spring. Added lube. Still not working right.
This is an all-pull Jackson D-10.
Any ideas anyone?

Move it to a faster/stiffer hole, so that it'll be timed closer to 9&10?
Or get a pedal return spring like MSA used.
It sounds like 7 is needing more travel.
Also try ditching the helper spring?

Thanks for the quick reply Lane!
Please explain: faster/stiffer hole? (insert joke)
Would that be the next lower hole?
I had removed the helper spring some time ago, but I put it back on when I noticed this problem.
Would raising the pedal adjustment help?
Thanks again!

For this discussion, "up" and "down" refer to the guitar in playing position, rather than on bench.
Faster/stiffer holes will be UP at the CHANGER, and DOWN at the BELLCRANK.
Before messing with those, push on the finger, to make sure the FINGER returns to C.

Moved the rod down 1 hole at bellcrank, now it works great!
I'm getting better at adjusting this thing, but sometimes I just get stumped!
Thanks so much, Lane!
You're a true asset to this great forum!

Thank you. I might as well talk about the dang thing, I'm 700 miles from mine, so I can't play it...
Glad I could help.
