Thanks Cobrin, I tried pushing as I turned - obviously not hard enough....

I was using one of those cube style wind back tools, and I cannot get a lot of force on the piston.

I have ordered a wind back kit off eBay, should be here Wednesday. Hopefully it will go back with a little force. It does turn clockwise to wind in doesn't it?
