[QUOTE="nccatfisher, post: 484869, member: 10811"] Ahhhhhh that number of turns is just a close to get you there. Try to cut your starter rope the correct length get everything done and rewind the spring. When it feels about correct then pull the rope through and test it without putting the handle on it and knotting it. If you don't have enough turns on the counter wind put it back through and wrap another turn or so. Remember you are working with a 60 some year old spring that has lost some of it's tension. The last thing you want to do is over wind it and break it. [/QUOTE]
