Barrie this one is for you,
Well, I took apart the recoil following carefully your instructions and wow it went very well. My problem was that there seemed to be restriction or rubbing inside preventing a smooth return of the cable. Even worst when in very cold temperature. Cleaned it out completely and proceeded to reassembled everything as per instructions. Again went very well and everything very smooth.... until the plate is screwed on. Once the plate is on, even more restrictions to the point were the cable doesn't return inside until the plate is loosened. No problem, I must have forgotten something. Tear it apart again, this time with the spring flying all over the place, but with those great instructions it was all back in place in no time. Everything checked and double checked before the recoil was put back together. The action is good and smooth again until that *()^%&^*&$# plate is put in place. Looking at the inside of the plate it is obvious that something is rubbing severely against it and has been for a while. Hence the original reason for taking it apart. Not a problem, determined to fix that , I took it all apart again and again and again with all kinds of results except what I wanted. I must have rewinded that spring 10 times *&^*()^%$*&. I am sure now that I am not forgetting something since the whole mechanism works fine until the plate is installed. One thing good about all this is that I can now take it apart and put it back together with my eyes closed, however I cannot figure out why the drum is rubbing on the inside of the plate. I've cheched and the drum is sitting properly on the spring with the small end in the slot. It appears that the posts that the claws rotate on are the ones rubbing on the inside of the plate. Any insight on what could be wrong?
