You haven't chimed back in yet. Did you get it solved?
Just to be crystal clear, when you start to pull the rope, watch the spring. It should remain stationary until the pawl is in fully engaged position, then it should start to rotate with the rope rotor. If the spring starts to rotate with the rope rotor anytime before the pawl is fully engaged, then the spring isn't pinching onto the shaft tight enough.
