It's seriously difficult to tighten Morso springs. You'll need muscules like Charles Atlas to do it. You don't want either of the springs flying back towards you when doing this!

I have no idea who that is, but Lou Ferrigno is coming to visit soon, so as long as I don't piss him off before he gets in the door and have my dart gun ready, it should be fine...
So...back to my original question, any thoughts on when?? Piece of string? i don't need to do back flips off it, but it's just feeling a bit Muh!

When the blades aren't springing back up very well is the time to do it.
If they need doing, then it's not hard to do. If it's a real struggle to move them to the next hole, then they didn't need adjustment!

Thanks Jim. Morso say to use the "appropriate tool". I'll just have to warm up the guns first...

I got my Morso in 1984 and I've never even thought of tightening the springs. I have a spare set as well which have sat
in their box all that time.
