As soon as I start running my Kobalt KST 120X-06
weed eater the line immediately unspools very quickly (like 5 inches a second). It is like the autofeed is always on. I have made sure I am spooling correctly:

I have also tried spooling it the opposite directly in case I am somehow confusing what clockwise means in this case.
What might be going on here?
More stuff:
Here is a picture of the auto feed mechanism, including spring (on the left side) which is in place properly as far as I can tell. Even though the area around the spring looks like its full of debris in the picture it is actually just some surface dirtiness, it does not effect the spring at all.
Here is same but showing the mechanism depressed by my finger pushing the button. The spring gives some resistance.
