Seems as though the antireverse assembly needs to be looked at.

(No drag? But the handle spins backwards?)

Hi I am know expert on these reels, but have worked on a couple, with success, first make sure you bearings are punched right into position, do you have it in free pool when adjusting your pre set screw, maybe you lost some shims, when you dismantled it, I had that trouble once, by using air pressure when there was to much old grease, not realizing there were shims there, good luck, cheers Don.

 Good call Robert. I was thinking the exact same thing. Without anti-reverse there would be no drag. For sure the handle should not turn both ways
