Hey, RM, DVT or Franco

 

I've got an older Chronarch that has a clicking noise when reeling....I have completely torn it apart and recleaned everything, bearings etc. Then noise gets worse when you tighten the spool tension cap or have a load on the spool. It doesn't make much of a sound when the spool is in free spool, just when cranking and use more tension....any ideas?

 

Thanks, Kevin

    If it doesn't do it in free spool your bearings are fine. Does it click in a consistent spot as you turn the handle? Or does it do it many times in one handle rotation?

    The first would hint towards a problem with your main gear, second being a pinion gear. I don't have the bantam schematics in front of me as I'm on my phone so I can't say for sure if there's anything else in there.
