The Strumey Archer heritage site has the complete 1945 FW 4 manual on a PDF download. My pawl spring problem was solved by mounting the pawl, spring and pin into the planet cage with the right-angled catch on the outside of the offending pawl ie without tension. When just so, pull / push the right angled tab around the end of the pawl into its correct tensioning position. Crude to say the least, but I was on my 5th lost spring and desperate.
