Bundy/Buescher bass clarinet register key adjustment

Hi,
I'm having some trouble setting up the register key mechanism on a Bundy/Buescher bass clarinet. It has the single key with a plastic rocker. I'm pretty sure that it works on the principle of a strong spring balancing a weak spring, but I'm not sure which spring is stronger, which weaker and by how much. There are no leaks (now!) and it plays fine in the chalameau register, but attempts to play in the altissimo result in squeaks and squeals which are driving my cat insane.

Can someone give me a thumbnail sketch account of how it goes together?

Thanks.

Tony F.
