Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer.
Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!

ive added 2.5 degrees more (18.5 total - plus modified diverter) and machined some of the inside out that was being restricted when its all the way up. Josh told me its not so much of a stream anymore....its got height, but its more of a 'spray'. i need to pick 'tards brain this weekend and see what i can do to fix that. maybe a nozzle inset of some sort.
