I am having some problems with my Johnson 4 Deluxe recoil. The string came off the other day, causing the end to snap off the spring. I have stripped down the recoil, re made a hook on the end of the spring, and put it all back together, but now it will not recoil, its seems sticky with no tension? Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Louis

I checked the spring was hooked up, both end and all the parts went back in as they came out?

But did you pretension the spring by the specified number of turns?

No, I didnt! That could be the problem. How many turns does it need?

Presumably I put the spring in, then turn it to tension it before wrapping the string around?

Thanks
