Halo Stay up Spring

[fkirons]

If the Halo had no stay up spring.. and i ran it in normal tubes with standard needles
Would it really make a difference to the life of the motor?
Or is this just to get the needle up when stopping?

The only reason to remove stay up spring is to run carts. Otherwise stay up spring does not shorten the life of the motor and it's supposed to be there to run normal needles.

OK.. so your saying it does not shorten the life of the motor (I didn't think it would, but wanted a professional opinion) and yes I agree it is to run carts.

That being said... if you want the freedom to rotate the cam face of a machine like a kubin its better not to have a stay up spring.

And if you want to adjust the needle hang it is easier to manually do it.

So a stay up spring on the Halo can be removed and it wont effect the motor, but it will help to manually set needle hang because it is free to move easier?
