Ben Eipert Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 My Revo S is making noise and is not very smooth anymore. It feels like something either on the gearbox side or the worm gear for the line guide. I took the line guide apart, flushed it with Reel Butter and compressed air and then reoiled it. Did not help any. I it not bad when the left side plate is off but when I put it on the sound comes back. It has worked great up until now. Any ideas why or how to fix it? Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted April 19, 2015 Super User Posted April 19, 2015 It sounds like it needs a deep cleaning, Reel Butter is lube not cleaner. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 How much use has the reel had? If a season or more it should be stripped down, cleaned, inspected and re-lubricated. The cost for members is $19.80 plus shipping if you want to send it in. DIY may be a possibility if you have the aptitude, tools etc. There are videos on the web but I have yet to see one that as thorough as a pro service. Any maintenance is better than none. Let me know if you need help. Quote
Ben Eipert Posted April 19, 2015 Author Posted April 19, 2015 The reel has been used a ton since I got it. If I am not using it my is in the back of the boat using it. How much of a chance is there that I ruin it? I am pretty handy with things but would rather not risk it. Thanks everybody Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted April 20, 2015 Super User Posted April 20, 2015 Take a look at the schematic of the reel they are rather insane. If not 100% comfortable send it to Mike. He has cleaned my reels the last few years and I cannot recommend him enough. Quote
