MORE- Replaced sensors- did not fix (not that lucky!) Pulled clutch and cleaned and lubed. Nothing broken (visibly). Determined problem to be that the ring under the clutch does not release the lever to allow the idler gear to contact the reels. Cannot tell if it is the ring gizmo or the half-moon cam gear. Not to mention - some of these parts may be NLA. Roger G. Mr. Fix-It Harrisburg, PA 17110 WebSite- http://mrfixit.netfirms.com rogerfixit@xxxxxxxx (alternate - rogerfixit@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ) FAX 801-705-3748 ; Tel: 717-763-7098 (shop) 717-652-1703(home) Had a couple like that. T/A said to replace the sensors and the main cam. Cam looked perfect and would take all day to replace so I just replaced the sensors even though they checked OK. Have not come back so they are either fixed or the owners got fraustrated and dumped them.
