  Nope. This is not common, insofar as I've ever heard or experienced with my own IV F. I'm assuming you changed the battery, yes?

If I were you, I'd send it to Konica/Minolta for a clean lube and adjustment. Not a local camera store.

Konica Minolta Photo Imaging U.S.A., Inc. 725 Darlington Avenue

Last time mine went in about a year (and I send my meters in every two years for cleaning, lube and adjusting) it cost about 70 bucks. Call them first, talk to a tech and send it in.

Take it...errrr "light"
