Ended up being the balancing valve. Used a flat head screw driver. Luckily it came out. Then I took the back cap off of the balancing spool. Got it off using a small screw driver. The black piston was stuck. I got it unstuck by lightly hitting it with a screw driver. Sanded the inside. Put plumber grease back inside. The pistol then moved freely. Put it back together and in valve. Good to go.
