Thank you, Severian, for trying to assist me. I now see that I needed to submit more descriptive details of my suspension fork issue.
This is a "head shock" where a single stack of springs is located directly above the fork crown--not in stanchion tubes.
As of today, after receiving very careful and informed advice from Scott with Hostel Shoppe, it now appears that I am well on the way to not only fixing the problem but also making this HP sus. fork function better than a "stock" one would.
