New damper mechanism for the Woodstock Progress Hybrid

We ain't got no air intake. We don't need no air intake. I don't have to show you any stinking intake!

It's gotta be frustrating for WS to be dealing with this, but I'd be surprised if they didn't know about the new requirements a while ago.

I guess one workaround would be to sell the old model, and include the new kit if the owner chooses to install.

I had an issue with the new damper where the air control jammed on me, luckily in the closed position. I took it apart and found some galling where the plate slides against its brackets. I filed the surfaces down a little more and that helped but its getting tighter again so ill probably have to disassemble it again soon. I think the root cause is that I couldn't snug the bolts down completely or it would bind. After this last reassemble I could snug them all except 1. With a little more filing im hoping I can snug them all down and not have any binding and that should permanently fix the issue.

It's good that it didn't stick while open. This is good feedback for Woodstock support. Not everyone will be able to correct this.

Agreed. I would definitely contact WS. They are extremely proactive with feedback like this.
