Playing C5 and above on the bass clarient

I purchased a used Vito Reso-tone that was played in a high school. After purchasing it, I took it to my repair tech to fix several leaks, several bent keys, and sync the two register keys. I still have two problem areas. First, crossing the break from Bb to B (all keys down) is doable, but with much effort. B using the 2nd from top trill key (B) is easy, and using the right or left pinky E alone is better. Second, I try to play up to C5 (with noted exception), after which the notes break-up (crackle). When I play low C and close the lower register key, there is a lag between the two notes (I fingered the register key with right thumb for this test). Any suggestions would help. Thx.
