Hi John,
I think it was Lothar (LaverdaLothar) who covered this really well in a thread on suspension 2-3 months ago.
I sorted my errant Mirage by trimming the preload spacer until I had about 40-50mm (can't actually remember now) of sag in the forks when sat on the bike. Prior to that I also took out the springs, collapsed the tubes down and filled with oil (10wt) until there was 150mm of gap to the top of the tube ( I think this needs to be quite precise and not 'roughly') . I then extended the fork out to full length, replaced the spring and the trimmed preload spacer, and refitted the fork: lovely.
Anyway, that was the gist of it. I'm sure someone will provide a link to the correct thread and response presently
