Trying to fix spinning reel

[DanC]

I have a reel that I really like. Quantum Energy E130PTs-B. Last year it started randomly back reeling. It would happen when I had a fish on. I bought a new one and I like the old one better. I took the whole thing apart and cleaned every gear, bearing, etc. and put it back together and greard everything. It still does the exact same thing. None of the parts looked damaged. I have a whole diagram with all the parts and part numbers. I have no idea what part to buy.  It doesn't seem like it's the switch. When it does it it usually does it for lees than a full turn. Any ideas?

I'm gonna say its your anti reverse bearing. I have the same issue with a brand new REVO STX. Abu Garcia let me keep the reel but it still back reels on occasion. Over oiling the ARB can definitely cause the back reeling also.

 

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me chimes in. If not, I would check eBay for a replacement if quantum doesn't offer the replacement parts.

Personally if I liked the reel enough, then I would send it to DVT or find someone local that does a lot of reel repairs.  A total cleaning and  reassembly with proper lube could fix it.

What is DVT? I have already cleaned, reassembled, and greased everything. I had every part out.

It's the anti reverse bearing.  I've replaced a few if them.

He did you clean and lube the anti reverse? It's either dirty, over lubed or worn out

DVT is one of our great board sponsors. He is Delaware valley Tackle.  He just jumped in here,  If you did disassemble it, clean it and properly lube it, then may a second set of eyes will notice something weak or not working correctly.
