Hello, new to this group and hoping someone has experienced my issue and knows the solution. Just picked up a L216 skid with boom issue. It is slow to raise, it will hold but as soon as you move the lever to go down it drops like a rock. No resistance at all just free falls. I’m guessing a valve problem in the valve body (spool valve) but have not been able to find info on which one to check. Any help is greatly appreciated.
