I think I'm making progress.
I've manage to get it functioning correctly with the gearbox empty.
The trigger contacts are holding closed on auto, and on semi as well with the trolley and trigger resetting cleanly when I trip the cutoff lever.
...but when I throw in the gears, cylinder assembly & main spring the additional pressure throws off the mesh. The trigger trolley is pushed slightly out of place and the trigger is "breaking free" again on pull.
So it seems like the one thing I changed in the first place (the harder main spring) is throwing off the functional mesh that came preinstalled.
I'm noticing the trigger assembly is able to move a tiny bit if I put pressure on it. The single screw that holds the trigger housing into the gearbox shell isn't preventing a tiny bit of play in the trigger housing. Maybe its something I can shim. If the housing doesn't move, then maybe the trigger trolley will ride and reset correctly.
I'll try a sliver of electrical tape between the trigger housing and the gearbox shell. Maybe I can lock down the housing without squeezing the trolley too hard.
