Is my valve just broken? I feel like the default state should be with the spring fully loaded and the arm down. My default state is with the spring fully relaxed and the arm up. When I pull down on the bumper (adding a load), it seems like the arm wants to go up, which can only work if the default state of the arm is down.
Default state (unladen) with spring fully relaxed and just hanging loosely. Arm all the way up.
What I think should be the unladen state, with the arm all the way down and the spring fully loaded.
