Spring wind on a driven unit

[gcarter95]

How much wind should be on the spring? Mine has enough to rotate it until it will fit over the flat edges on the shaft, no more.

Thats about what i can get mine to as well. It would be nice to know if thats right tho.

IIRC, just enough preload to get it together(1/3 turn).

(1/3 turn).

I've had mine apart 3 times for adjustments, that's about how much tension I've used, working fine.

Excellent, it is what made sense to me when reassembling, but it never hurts to check.
