Therapy?

Slip a piece of tubing inside the spring, around the bolt. That ought to keep it from compressing.

Tighten the preload bolt.

Lol thx...what type of tubing u Suggest

 

[That0neGuy]

That or find a real stiff spring to replace your old one like from a motorcycle springer or from a porch swing.

 

[deorman]

If you use something like "rubber" fuel line it will still absorb road shock but reduce the pedal pogo effect. (I assume, pehaps mistakenly, that's the source of your question) If you're not heavy, just screwing the spring bolt as far as you can makes quite a difference.

Shouldn't be - might want to paint it so it doesn't rust all over your nice chrome.
