Title: PENN 320 LD
Post by: mainemule on September 11, 2023, 11:58:12 PM
Tried new Handle Side Plate Bearings and still have the ussue of the spool being pulled to the handle side causing it to bind angainst the frame when the Drag Lever is pushed to the Strike position. I would think the issue may be in the spool assembly but have done others (Graphite Mags) with no issue. I'm Stumped and have replaced a lot of parts on these two 320ld's to find the issue. Any one have a solution or idea other than the Handle side (Main Gear) Bearing?

You may need to use a wider pinion bearing or shim under the pinion bearing to move the pinion to the left.
