Hi

I am not sure if this will work, but, you could hang a two litre bottle from your counterweight, then add ~500mL of water at time.

Checking what you think of the balance each time, should give you a feel for how much extra weight you would like.

Bearing in mind Lachlann's comments, you may want to try it a bit further up the shaft.
