I have a Lynn fury that it is lacking spin time. It spins for abou 25-30 seconds. I have cleaned it many times using mineral spirits and taking off the shields and putting thin lube on the bearing. The spin time still hasnt improved after all of these cleanings. Any suggestions on how to make it spin longer? All input in greatly appreciated. ---

2 things: 1: Clean the bearing. Then run it dry and see how you like it. 2: Silicone the response, as it will go unresponsive, but if you don’t clean the bearing first, that’s a waste of time and effort. ---

I would almost bet that the problem is on the other end of the string. Do you have another lyn fury set up exactly the say that works a lot better? ---

You could be over lubing it. Try putting the tip of a needle in some lube, then touch some of the bearings. ---

I think it could be possible that your preception has changed and it seems like it spins less. But did you put the sheilds back on the bearing? Sometimes you can bend them or put them back in crooked. I dis like the stock orings in these because of how they bind and throw so I never keep them in. I don’t have much suggestions about them for you. I put silicone in their place. ---

I don’t have much suggestions about them for you. I put silicone in their place. I always put the shields back in. Which way do they go in again though, because sometimes I wonder if I put them I backwards ---

The outter edge of the shield should be DOWN relative to the middle portion, which should be UP/OUT. It’s hard to see. ---

Take the sheilds off the bearing, put the bearing back in the yoyo. See if that fix’s the problem. It will tell you if the sheilds are bent, or where put in wrong somehow. Sheilds are not a needed piece of a bearing so you can take them out and see if that fix’s your problem. :wink: [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/lynn-fury-packing-spin-time/39757.md?page=2)
