Lid will not stay open anymore without holding it (32")

[Lloyd Fox]

I've had my KK for many many years now and use it more than once a week.  The counter weight for the lid is no longer sufficient.  Is there a way to correct this?

Remove the Counter weight. ///Spring tension to offset the weight is accomplished by tightening the nut at the base of the spring. Maybe yours has loosened, easy fix.

Please have the lid open when tightening the spring bolt. Check every two turns. You want it to open completely but not fly up so aggressively it bounces back off the top.

Don't mean to sound insulting but Righty tighty, Lefty Loosey and then when your done step back and admire your work and open another.  It's only right or was that left
