justtrying Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 hey bud, got a question regarding a chronarch 50mg. fished it two days, worked great, then, all of a sudden, when i tried to cast lure, it would go only about a third as far as usual. ..unscrewed tension nut, no effect. ..took side plate off to ck brakes...left side plate Off, line still would not free spool. pulled spool loose, it free spooled fine, push it back in place, again it tightens. i cast it probably 20-25 times & a few times (when i really "slung" it,) it seemed to loosen up. ..anyway, i was fishing, so, i just used another reel til i could get back home to check it. ...any ideas???? thanks ronnie Quote
Guest DavidGreen Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Ronnie, Looking at the schematic, something has placed a bind on the bearing pack, under the keeper that keeps the spool locked in. Problem area #1... I would also check the left side bearing pack, and spacer... If it is one that I have serviced for this 07 season send it back to me, and I will take care of it N/C. All of my reel service, carries my personal warranty for the full season it has been serviced for. David.... Quote

justtrying Posted March 8, 2007 Author Posted March 8, 2007 first, i want to say i agree 100% w/flech about david. he is indeed, a class act & a "treasure" to this site that many people don't recognize. he is "da man!" now, that being said, ...reelmech, please dis-regard the reason for this post. it seems, errrr, welllll, it appears that the man who serviced my reel (the individual will remain un-named, for he should be ashamed!) ...anyway, errr, ummmm, it seems this well intentioned man, welllll, it seems he "might" have put just a "touch" of grease in the bearing cap ...and, it "may" have just hardened a teeeny tiny little bit. i mean, this guy knew better, but, in a moment of weakness, he thought, "if a little is good, a lot is better." ...but you & "I" know better, don't we? i mean WE, you know, you & ME, we know better, don't we. We, would never do that, would WE? LOL ......Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee david, bud, i screwed up & it came back & grabbed me. i knew better, but, ...what can i say. anyway, thanks for the help & Thanks for being here for us Old Babies. ronnie Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 8, 2007 Super User Posted March 8, 2007 As Dirty Harry once said, "A man has got to know his limitations." : Or after looking at the schematic, "How do it know?" 8-) Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 I sent 2 off to RM yesterday. I'm in need of some great help. They werent working like they should. They are needing some RM TLC Quote
Guest DavidGreen Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Thank you all for the kind words... Ronnie, What can I say, I even missed it. But then I assumed that you wouldn't do that. I preach no grease anywhere near bearing packs or IAR Rollers enough... GMAN, I'll take good care of them..... Tight Lines All!!! Quote
