When I orient the right side plate with the handle in the rear and lever in the front the reel works perfectly. I prefer the other position, and when I assemble in that position my spool is rubbing on something. As it turns I feel resistance and hear sh-sh-sh-sh etc. I have looked everywhere and cannot figure out the issue. Any advice?
lugs?
You are correct, it is the right lug. I do not want to leave a big hole in the top so I guess I will have to grind it clear of the spool.
