[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 399713, member: 7076"] I'm sure the manual has a specific number, but for me, I never wind it even close to tight. I normally will put it in place un-wound with out the handle attached, and then I give it one (Maybe two) turns and feed the rope through the front cowling. (if you spin it by hand and then engage the pinion, you can keep the mechanism from unwinding by placing a pair of pliers underneath the pinion gear. This keeps the pinion engaged to the flywheel and stops the mechanism from unwinding while you feed the rope through and tie it). You really only want it tight enough to keep the handle in place while the motor is running. Any more than that, then you create a chance to do the damage you're seeing. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
