— As the springs heat up and cool down they can
lose tension.

approximately 1/16 inch (1.59mm) or more, it
means the springs have lost their tension
— Lost tension cannot keep the floor in the proper
position causing ignition problems and fuel falling
into the ash pan. If noted, call your dealer to
replace the springs.
