I've seen #1 and #6 wore bad enough that they had to be repaired or replaced. From what you are describing, it is worn linkage. We repaired one a couple weeks ago on the 169 that my friend Chris bought. It was doing just what you described. We repaired the square hole that the spring fits in (trunion) and replaced the springs. It fixed that one to like new. You may still have excessive wear in the linkage pieces.
