Reply To: Can rewind springs be fixed

[Dale]

My two cents on this rewind spring deal. You need to make sure that the rope hits it end before the spring hits it’s end! Some times the spring tension is set too tight and it bottoms out it will break again new or old. I have made snowmobile springs work in outboard motors. I also have bought new springs that were to short. I wish I had a nickle for every one I have had apart. The center hub should not turn. Get the right size rope and the rewind needs to work free and easy on the bench before you ever put it to work!
