you have sort of hit the nail on the head with the spring weight and this is why i recommend welding up the damper rod rebound holes. why do we weld the damper rod rebound bleed holes? we do this due to the check valves on the bottom of the stanchions being carp and leaking like a sieve.

i think there might be something else going on as 4 "bounces" is worse than stock. 10wt RSF Maintain (pro) is heavy for a 10 weight oil so by its self should be better than stock.

something you might have missed is pumping the stanchion up and down when you initially filled the forks with oil.
