Hi, i have tried to fix my front derailleur but with no luck. The problem is, that the spring, which is supposed to make derailleur jump back, doesnt do its job. I tried oiling it. I tried using wd40 for evt rust (have 0 rust and never had) It is NOT the problem with the shifter, or the cables or alignment. The problem is particullary with the derailleur not wanting to jump back after the cable has been loosened. (I have taken in off and trying to play but no luck)
Not a problem that can be diagnosed without eyes and hands on the bike. Post a clear video, or better - take to a bike shop or bike co-op.
I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/donald_f2ed37026a3ac881

rough guess, from past life of bmx.
there should be a cable that runs down to the mechanism, the cable is secured by a small nut, loosen the nut and pull the cable a little more out of the nut with pliers. tighten the nut, and try the linkage.
the shift cable stretches over time and your actually gonna make a small adjustment to compensate for the stretch. by just pulling the cable thru the locking nut to make it shorter.

Maybe go through the whole procedure. Web search "adjust front derailleur" for videos.
