Title: Calcutta 300te bearings
Post by: Swami805 on August 11, 2020, 08:15:11 PM
Was fishing with my trusty Calcutta 300te last week and it was noisey when casting, sounds like a bad bearing. Any idea which bearing it would be? sounds fine otherwise and everything is still smooth and quiet except on long casts. Hoping maybe a little tsi321 will cure it?  Thanks

check the casting breaks first. Clean them up and maybe wipe a next to nothing bit of oil on the ring. These tend to chatter when dirty.
