Problem With JX 6/3 Freespool

[grapeavetape]

Help guys! I took my jx apart to clean and lube and now I can't get the reel to freespool without applying moderate pressure to the drag pre-set knob. This fixes the problem until I return the lever to freespool.
Any ideas? Thanks. P.S.- Love the reels. I have 8 of 'em at last count.

I've seen this... If you have your schematic, look at the male cam (that's what it's called on my Hoo X, I can't locate my JX scematic right now) and put the preset knob on with the lever in freespool and rotate the cam till it's back to normal. Takes a few times but you'll get it.

You might also have put in the belleville washers wrong. Check out Aln Tani's post to show you various ways to install them. In my tests with different combinations I made it so I did not have free spool. When I tried another orientation, I have fantastic drag pressures and great free spool!
