Clean and adjust score reel nine and zero switches
Steps
- Step the reel by hand through nine and zero and watch the switches; compare with a reel that works if unsure.
- File the nine and zero switches clean with a Flex-Stone and set them for good wipe.
- Do not over-tension these blades; too much pressure makes the reel hang at nine or zero, and raising the return spring is not the cure.
- Make sure the reel coil EOS switch opens at full stroke, and clean it.
