I'm using a shelby shockease fork for the build off and am not familliar with the fork or fork parts. The pivot point on the fork is very stiff, I lubed it and worked back n forth to get some smoothe full range movement, but still just feals really stiff. Is this common? Also I'm not sure if it has the correct spring in the fork. Does anyone have a picture of the original spring?
 
My shockease fork had a broken spring in the steer tube...yours may have
the same problem...start with removing the internal spring assembly:(not always easy) Clean/lube/re-assemble. It could be hanging up the action.
I ended up using Urethane bumbers from old MTB forks in place of the broken spring which is pretty hard to find, and it worked out pretty nicely.
sorry no pics
