Toro 22 inch residential personal pace

[Lawnranger]

I always wind the spring until it is tight and then back it off until the hole in the pulley lines up with the hole in the starter housing.

I should have been more specific, thanks. I do the same and sometimes it's only half a turn but I do back off in the event that the rope is pulled out all the way, it will not stress the spring which could eventually break it.
