  • If the speeds are right, that’s almost a smoking gun for a weak autoreverse spring.

    You might be able to jury-rig it temporarily, I don’t know this unit’s design, but either remove the spring and replace it with string or wire so the autoreverse sensor can’t trigger, or fix the spring itself.

    Pull it and see what kind of tension it has.

    Heat treating is the proper method to fix it, here’s the directions from chatgpt, it’s not wrong, usually I’ve just seen it kept relaxed and heated with a lighter for 10 seconds, then left to cool.

    Heat the spring to ~400–600°F (204–316°C) depending on material (e.g., music wire, stainless).

    Hold for 30 minutes.

    Let it cool slowly in air.

    We had a huge population of genuinely evil people who were locked away in the rural south so they could only abuse black people around them.

    Then social media gave these people a voice and politicians realized they could pander to the trash with funding from the billionaires and that’s enough to keep them in power indefinitely.
