So I've been using one of my FP's for a while with a medium point herriance nib on it. It's a Jr. Gent II with the kit front section and feed. I've got a converter in it and am using private reserve copper burst ink.
It's a hard starter and after a time starts to skip and will eventually stop. Anything remotely fast on a straight line will skip and eventually it will start skipping on simple writing of letters. I have to pull the back off and give the converter about a 1/16-1/8 twist to get it flowing well again.
After the little kick start with the piston, it seems good for a full page or so but then starts to skip again...or after leaving the pen sit for a day or two.
Does this sound like a feed issue? If so, is there anything to try to resolve it?
