Tension spring

Re: Tension spring
To add another detail: if the spring is completely relaxed, don't turn the quill advance handle backwards. Only turn it clockwise (when facing the speed control side of the SS). And once you have some tension on the spring, don't let go of the handle and let it snap back while the quill is out. The momentum of the handle can turn the spring backwards and disconnect or even damage it.
Re: Tension spring
It was 3 turns until it stopped but that worked theme guys

Re: Tension spring
Well became a real expert putting the spring back on. So fixed it was the tension thanks everyoneJPG wrote: Sun Aug 22, 2021 1:14 pm Perhaps a missing detail. The tension must be created(4 turns?) and then the quill feed gear engaged with the quill gear rack.
