My fishing buddy (he's 7) helped me adjust the tension knob on my Revo STX and adjusted it right off.

No problem - we didn't loose any parts.  But we are left with the following:

- Tension cap with a black gear-like insert (teeth out) inside

- Two (would expect one?) - bronze-colored springs (not sure of the right term for them)

- Another black gear-like insert

I can re-assemble the parts easily enough (well not exactly, but with patience and tweezers).

 

Sorry if my terminology is off - but hopefully the pic below will help.  The tension cap is face down, of course.

The question that remains is -- how are the two spring-like parts supposed to be positioned under the tension cap?

Can anyone show me -- or direct me to -- a pic or diagram?

The Abu Garcia parts diagram on the website is not clear enough to understand how the springs should be positioned properly.

Thanks guys.

Explained that the standard Abu parts diagram is not helpful.

Is this a gen 3?  One click spring goes in the cap with the little dimple facing up. The click washer goes in the frame by aligning the two leg tabs with the holes. I don't think the second click spring belongs there. Try it and see if that works

Thanks, DVT.  Yes, a brand new gen 3.  I put one of the click springs between the two click washers, dimple up (out of the reel).  It is now both tensioning and clicking. 

I thought the second click spring looked fishy.  Who knows, maybe they stuck two in by mistake at the factory.  I'll keep the second in case I ever need it again.

 

Good deal.

My STX no longer tensions completely. I believe that the springs may have been bent out of shape. Is there something else that could cause this and where can i get a new assembly?

 

My stx only has one spring between the plastic gear/clickers

All the spring does is click. There is z small carbon spacer in the middle of the cap. My guess is that's missing.
