Hold Open Assembly

Hello, I was wondering if someone could provide direction with an issue I'm having. I recently aquired a hold open assembly for my DWM 1918. The HO went in fine but will not function correctly. It seems that the follower button is not lifting high enough to engage. From reading the archives I believe that it may be that the spring is to strong as the HO moves freely. I've tried several diff mags with the same results. The archive said to polish with a dremel but I don't understand how this would lighten the spring. Should the spring be shortened, narrowed or made thinner? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks
