First I'd discombobulate the fradostat, remove the Johnson rod, check
for greebles in the tinkerbox, and make sure there's no wobble in the
Jack shaft or foreplay in the diddle spindle. Then, replace the
diaphragm, reinsert the Johnson rod, and recombobulate the fradostat.
If that doesn't work, call a licensed, competent technician...
but be prepared to pay. Nothing's Freon this planet anymore.
