200e Forks

[Maine_Triker]

Well we finnally took apart the front forks on the 200e to try to get some suspenshion. When my dad got it it had no give in the forks at all so we decided to fix that. We took it apart and sprayed like a half a can of WD-40 on all the parts. Now we have a little bit of give but you have to jump on it to make it go down. And once it goes down it doesn't come back up unless you lift up the front end. Anyone else had this problem? Do I need new springs or what?
Any info appreciated :D
Thanks
P.S. this was left outside by the origional owner if that has anything to do with it.
