I had the same problem on mine. The spring looked fine but when I took it off it was clear it was not "springy" enough. The replacement was much stronger and solved the problem instantly, it's a cheap fix to try before you disturb anything else

Having read some horror stories on the internet about broken bits of piston ring getting wedged between the valve and piston I decided to use my newest tool - a USB boroscope!
