I'd never had my hands on one and was surprised how limited the range was. Then again, it's probably been played to death. So off to the workbench. Removed the air restrictors, gave it a lube job, and a good cleaning.

After all that TLC it's working, but unfortunately it isn't even comparable to an unmodded StrongArm. Oh well. i've modded a lot of mavs and from my experience you can make it very reliable by messing with the screw on the clutch, and if everything is sealed and lubed properly range is 70 ft. the trick is that the plunger o-ring has to be perfect and the cylinder sealed really well. on some mavs you can remove the black cover from the cylinder thus making it a lot lighter and more reliable. ...i call it the skeleton mod... : )
