The flow control is not your problem.  It is simply a variable opening.  Once set it does not change.  First do a thorough cleaning of all moving parts to make sure it moves freely.  If that doesn't fix it, you have cylinder problem.  I don't know what Great Western used.  I once had a Twin Cities saw that used a home made cylinder of PVC pipe and plastic plug.  I build mine with non rebuildable cable cylinders.  Most hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders are rebuildable.
