I found this <Dolphin-621 LW>$9 at the new Goodwill store 2 miles away , it seems the level wind went all the way to the left and won't come back I haven't tore it apart yet, currently looking for a schematic. I have no idea the age  but, it was paired with a Heddon Pal rod #7444 looks older than reel.

     I think you can also follow a penn  209 schematic        http://www.scottsbt.com/catalog/store/images/pennparts/schematics/209m.pdf

Well after getting Olympic Dolphin 621-LW back together I inadvertently got Super Lube on the blue plastic and it made it pretty, so I coated all the blue with it and wiped it off looks nice. The only problem with this reel is the line guide gets stuck to the far left, it appears to be a bad spot on the worm.

   I would remove the screw under the line guide .     In it is a paw that needs to be cleaned and checked to make sure it still looks like Mickey mouse ears ..       A few pictures .   When installing the screw back together rotate the handle to help the paw settle in  the worm .

 Joe is it supposed to have a spring in there I wasn't sure, I found one that does fit maybe i need it somewhere else

oldmanjoe

  No spring that i see .     The paw has to be free to spin in the barrel .    Waxy grease usually gums them up .

   OK found the other reel with the same cup like you have and no spring .   Again when you start tighten the cup rotate the handle so the paw drop in the worm.   OR set it up on a stick and work on it up side down .    just a little push on the paw with a screw driver and rotate the handle and you will see and feel the paw working .

If it's not the pawl, it could be the worm. Clean and check with good light and magnification. A tiny key-hole file can sometimes clean-up little rough spots.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

When the levelwind carriage gets to one side and reverses direction, that pawl has to pivot about 45 degrees.  When the LW carriage is sticking at one side of the other is often means the pawl cannot pivot freely.  Clean the barrel of the pawl and clean inside the carriage to make sure it pivots freely.

I have the spring in photo does it go between the worm bearing and screw?

oldmanjoe

  That looks like the spring that pushes the worm drive into the drive gear .   That spring sits on a screw on the right hand side plate .   The big screw at 
   3 o`clock

In this picture your paw is not in all the way , it should sit flush .
