i've been having an issue that is occuring more and more frequently on my emmons push pull; sometimes when i raise my 6th string with my b pedal, it won't raise all the way, and comes out a bit flat. if i release it and press the pedal again it raises all the way. it went from happening very infrequently to an unhealthy frequency. it needs to be fixed!

it's not happening on the third string at all. my theory is that the shock spring at the bellcrank on the 6th string is not working properly anymore. maybe it's rotating in a funny way so that sometimes its full length isn't being applied. does this sound plausible?

if that is the issue, what is the appropriate spring length and type? where would somebody get this part if they lived in the great state of canada?

This would be good place to start. Also check the rollers at the tuning head, grooves in the finger, lube the changer, lube the pedal at the pedal rack cross bar.
