Had a disaster today when cleaning them up...
Would taking this out cause issues with the tech drive being over keen. It seems to be struggling more on thick carpet now. I removed the part that this attaches to that engages the metal lever that activates the tech drive as it was rusty and I wanted to clean it up.
Kirby Handle Pivot Spring Assy. Fit G3 G4 G5 G6 G7 ULT G Diam Sentria https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00O05W5WC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_SPPaybB8AMA1E
The piece it connected to had 2 x V Shaped plastic sliders with tiny little rollers unassuming To slow the handle back and forth.
I didn't adjust the pivot assy or touch the tech drive. Maybe it's in my head the tech drive still activates back and forth with a finger touch.
