One of the springs is unwound but not broken. Looks like a the set screws
came loose. I Googled for info & only found lots of stuff on how to replace
the springs. Can I simply wind this spring back up? Should I unwind the
other first to make sure both springs are equal?

Thanks!

Buck-

First a few questions.......

are you reasonably handy / mechanically inclined?

can you / have you worked successfully & safely with powerful tools
(table saw, chainsaw, firearms, etc) that if used incorrectly can hurt
or kill you (or others)?

check out this site

After reading it & you understand it & feel competent to rewind the
springs.....go for it.

Like others have posted, these things are powerful & can hurt you
(maybe even kill you)

Doing it yourself (alone) for the first time is not without risk.

cheers
Bob
