Re: Free-up 1951 Packard 288 Heat Riser

My heat riser now operates freely. The split in the end of the shaft is at about 1 o'clock when I lift the counter weight. When I release it, it travels to about 3 o'clock and bounces slightly. There is no spring. In the absence of a spring, is the heat riser not in the warm position? This would correspond to the spring being extended due to being at operating temperature. Why would this need to be wired in place?
