CK20 BH problem

[KenGod]

I just got my BH for my ck20. I used its once and it was fine. Today I took it out to dig a trench when I noticed that the left movement joystick does not have the spring return to neutral, up/down/right still has the spring return to neutral but left stays where you leave it. I know they will cover it under warranty, but I was wondering if anyone else had this problem? What baffles me is that from the time i put it away after the first use and today something happened to it and no one has touched it. maybe I have a spring thief in my area, lol, crazy stuff

Sounds like it needs a little lubrication on the linkage.

It doesn't feel like a sticky linkage, it feels loose, easy to move just no spring tension.

Take off the cover so that you can see what is going on. There are pivots that the linkage turns on, they may have a bolt loose or out.You should be able to tell quickly after the cover is off.
