Title: DAM! Another 110
Post by: kjdunne on March 14, 2021, 06:25:36 PM
Picked up this 110 a while ago from the big auction site, finally getting into it.  Auction pics looked pretty good, of course, and it is in pretty good condition.  I'll be fishing it, so the worn paint is not a concern.  It needed a thorough cleaning and service, and discovered a few parts were missing or seemed wrong. I'll try to post some pics...

Opened up, old grease.  2 washers closest to crank don't appear to be correct, the ID is too large for the shaft and the schematic shows only 1 washer there, #100-097.  The drag spring washer #100-071 is missing and the nylon drag washer #100-375 is worn, can this be sanded smooth?  I never tried sanding nylon.  The crank arm pin is a regular roll pin, not the factory style 101-157.  Other than these issues, if I can get the parts, it just needs a good cleaning and lube to go back to fishing.

All cleaned and reassembled (except the spool and crank handle) with Cal's purple grease on the gears and Abu Garcia Silacote Reel Oil on the shafts and bushings (because I had it already). Thinned the Cal's with oil for the ball bearing, nice and smooth now.  Hoping to be able to buy the few missing parts so I can finish it.

The difference in the gear box is like night and day.

Quotethe nylon drag washer #100-375 is worn, can this be sanded smooth?

I have better luck using a fine file, then burnishing the nylon with 800 or so wet/dry emery cloth.

Nice resto!

Finally got around to finishing this guy...thanks Fred for the parts!  Works great!
Loaded it with 6 lb Trilene XL and mounted it on a similar vintage Fenwick GFS 55 5'6" UL rod (now 5' 1" but that's another story), ready for stream trout fishing.

Perfect work, Kal —

Good job!

Those 110's are an extremely capable, fun, and strongly rugged reel.

Well balanced combo.

Best, Fred

Hey Fred.
I just went through my first 110. Everything went smooth except I have a very small knock in the winding cup. I know what it is. It's the click tongue pin (100-015) contacting the trip lever lug screw (100-048). I have already polished the pin and gave the lug screw a couple of passes with an India stone. It improved but is not completely gone. I would like some advice before just removing more metal.

If I seat the spool firmly against the cross pin it will still contact. If I pull the spool out so that it is against the latch; there is no contact. The washer (100-089) is in place on the brake spindle (100-376). Do these washer get worn thin? Would replacing this washer solve the problem?

The pin and the click-tongue do not seem too loose but I'm wondering if I should to seat the click-tongue pin a little deeper? I've been reluctant to do this because I don't want the click-tongue to get too tight. If I were to do this; would it be better to use a punch and hammer or press it with a small C-clamp?

Thanks in advance
-Mike

I am just reading this , and my first thought is the rotor cup is up to high !   Back track a little more and look to see where your shims are on the main bearing and frame .  Make Sense ?
