Front sprocket spring

[superhooper]

Hi peeps, checking my engine internals over i noticed that the front sprocket spring could be turned by hand without a great deal of force (no movement in and out) . Is that ok or should i replace it with a new one.

Super

Interesting question, Ive got mine in bits atm for the same reason and will check on Sunday when I get back up the Norfolk

Just checked mine whilst doing a top end rebuild.Mine cannot be turned by hand as it is under pressure/ load.Did have it on an old original Innocenti spring fitted before which if I remember rightly did turn by hand which is why I changed it.Now have one of the red Casa ones fitted which cannot be turned by hand and handles the torque very well.Hope this helps

Thanks, i ordered a red casa one last week but have not had time to fit it. Will report back on outcome.
