you can always get a argyle and take out motion control. make it nice and light, if you dont like the feel of it with no compression dampning, just but it back in

It wasn't new but the guy before bairly rode it. And marzocchi says there is nothing wrong with it
One of the guy at our shop bought the fist year 4X and had the oposite problem rebound was too slow and he couldn't adjust it, turns out once I opened it up that it was turned to far and jammed up inside. I fixed it buy using a couple of pliers with soft jaws to hold the adjuster rod and piston and forcing it back the other way, thank god it was alum guts and not plastic. He hasn'rt had a problem since.

i wouldn't bother as you might come across other problems, just get a new fork
Open bath mazz are the easiest fork to work on, could almost give them a complete over haul on the trail, theres not much to go wrong in there other then the pumping rod or the jammed adjuster, buy a litre of 7.5 fork oil take it apart and see whats going on, if you want I will post up the oil levels tomrrow at work and post them so you know how high to fill it back up, at the worst you would need a pumping rod if you can't see whats wrong to put it back together and sell it saying that you put new oil in it.
