Most spring motor problems can be traced to broken main springs, dirty hardened grease in the springs, and broken speed governor parts.
When we clean, rebuild, and grease your spring motor we check each component for wear, abuse, breakage, etc. Broken springs are replaced, bearings, gears, and shafts are checked for wear. New parts are installed and greased, then the motor is tested for operation and set for proper speed.
