Title: 6500 C3 Recurring Clutch Issue
Post by: Prefessa on January 26, 2022, 07:06:58 PM
Greetings all:

You folks have likely seen this. When I Engage the free spool the Push Button "Bottoms Out". So when I turn the handle it doesnt go back into gear unless I pull the clutch up a bit with a fingernail.

If the reel is freshly serviced it goes away but comes back as soon as the reel is in service a few weeks or so...especially on the beach.

Are there parts that are worn out? There are a couple reels that have this issue...and they are the ones that see the most use.....So I am thinking something needs replacement. (Yolk? Eccentric, ect)

Any idea of what to look for and replace...

Thanks Guys
