Just some more info the help. As I said make sure the neutral plane is right and the brushes are all bedded in properly. The series field 4 coils have 1,2,3 turns( If I remember correctly) tappings on each coil. Tuners have generally started with 8 turns(2 per coil which I think is connection 1 and 3) within the whole series field, so this is a good start. Then you can test your compounding by sending the lift to mid shaft, then kicking the lift via H and U/D to test the compounding/speed with a FPM tester( using all appropriate safety measures). This should get you out of trouble. I wouldn't think they would have changed the car/counterweight balance which can effect this too. You may have to adjust other setting to get a good s curve, but see how you go with this.
Any way let us know how you go.

We end up rebalancing cars all the time. If you have a lighter capacity car and there is marble and mirrors and tile floors and a new island ceiling you can bet you have lost 30 to 40% of capacity. Absolutely. If any adjustments are made to the original cars( and their balance), they must be rebalanced. When ever new interiors or car top changes( especially PDO's) are made it has to be done. I just was saying in the context I assumed nothing was changed in/on the car.

Car is original and is balanced at 43%. Car station was replaced, but the new one weighs less than the two originals combined. We had to do a five yr test anyway, when we brought the weights in, we checked the balance. When we put the full load in the car and forced a relevel, it was 3 turns undercompounded, three turns brought it able to recover and going back to balance, we reset the approaches. All appears to be good. Thanks to the member that sent the adjusters notes. They did not match the job, but helped immensely. I don't know how others do a buffer test on older WL equipment, but back when I adjusted Dovers, We would park the car at a center floor on Independent service, reverse the motor fields, and set a call for a terminal. The car would accel to high speed in the wrong direction and BUFFER TEST. Works just as well on OTIS. Anyway, All is Well. Thanks to all.
