    Hi Mark, The MF's I have the lever hooks don't go back to their unpressed position, how do they work, do they have a spring?

    Cheers Nigel

    Yes there is a spring in the bottom of the rod you press, its probably gummed up with crud. There are little alan grub screws that keep the rod you press in the correct place. You could take the lever handle off and take it to bits to clean it out. Its fun trying to get it back together. You need 3 hands to keep the hook in the right place then the plunger and then tighten the grub screws.

    Thanks I will give it a try, I will also post a pic and ask you another question on my thread, if you don't mind having a look and let me know how to get it apart.
