I have 3 clear plastic washers that I cannot remember for sure where they go on this Microlite, anyone? I think they came off the main gear but not sure now. Strange thing is when I install these washers and put the side cover on the reel locks up. Thanks and Happy Easter!
They go on the main gear, Joe --
Never seen 3 -- only 2 -- but no matter.
I generally leave these off. As long as your side oil-lite bearings are burnished, and the main gear shafts are smooth -- and a couple of drops of synthetic oil is used on both sides -- you will find that the washers just get in the way.
There were two versions of the 265, plus a couple of gear variations. And these versions and variations are not listed anywhere.
So basically -- I just do what works the best for performance and longevity.
Best, Fred
Great Fred, thanks a million.
