I have to fix a air leak and add a tire valve so I can increase the internal pressure a small amount.

One other problem found, crank arm set screw was loose and allowed the phase to shift. Proceeding with repairs.

Another failed attempt. Next I will try to reduce the size of the power bellows. Hoping to reduce the amount of compression. Suggestions welcome.
