i think the problem is the angle of the cable coming out of the non stock (read homemade) cable mount, i adjusted the angle a bit and it,s lighter and a little more even, will have to have a higher one fabricated.
as for Question 2 .. i do not have a 10 lb lead weight, i have a 115 lb dead weight but thankfully she is visiting her sister.

LOL! Hopefully she never reads your post!
The cable angle is critical for smooth ( and light) response. If you still have Sean Malloy's post he has an excellent diagram, basically the cable should pull smoothly through an arc, at mid point the cable to linkage should be at 90 %, not up or down. The spring angle should be 90% at mid point also for smoothest transition.
Others may disagree, but this works for me
