Pete Pappas, past SunShine Statesman & Dixielander, devised a way to
increase the cutoff pressure of the JC4. He sent me details at one time.
Unfortunately I can neither remember nor find the details. I do recall that
it involved adding something like a ballpoint pen spring and a small
machine screw. I never did it because I figured I'd prefer to bypass the
internal switch and add an external one -- which I never did because the
Azure pumps came along first.

Searching for that mod, I came across the link to Gene's brake postings.
Here it is for the enlightenment of newbies:
