How many 81 Bottle door spring wraps??

[johnnyselman]

 When I took my bottle door apart. I counted 2 wraps on the spring and that's  the way I put it back.  The door is not sealing as good as I wish it would. There's not a lot of tension in the closed position. I'm thinking of going 1 more wrap on the springs but don't want to break them. Just wondering how many wraps you guy put in yours?

Thanks,Johnny

       Do as many wraps as you can, I have never broken a spring yet.

Yes, I doubt that many of us in the hobby could be considered wound too tightly I'd say  

But seriously, I've set the springs on my V90 bottle doors at about 2 before they start to bind when they are opened.

Sometimes when you've pulled the bottle door to restore/repaint or replace the gasket, the hinges need to be adjusted by loosening the screws that hold the door on the machine-side & slide them outward ( towards you as you face the machine) this will allow the bottle-door to sit more "squarely" against the gasket.

The attached diagram is the bottle-door as viewed from above.

With a new spring you won't get more than two turns. That is all I do with a new spring.
