Remaking the detent a few times did the trick. Each time it worked a little better than the one before, as I flushed out the bugs. I had a scare where I damaged the gate, but a little super glue seems to be holding it together. Here is the detent that finally does the job.
The detent properly releases one pin at a time when recoiled by hand with a weight of just about 2.2 lb on the great wheel.
I did not have to modify the pin wheel. It is helpful to have a banking so the detent is held in a convenient position if all the weight is removed. This also gave a good opportunity for testing the winding mechanism, which does indeed work.
