I tried listening the tension knob still nothing and I’ve tried pushing the thumb bar when closing anyone know anything?

I’ve opened and closed it multiple times and it works fine but this time when I opened it it whist won’t shut

Also I have gone threw tie before but I learned I need to use the spool tension knob to close it but now it just won’t close

Omg it just freaking went in

They’re a PIA. Just keep playing with it. 

I had one on a Tranx that almost made me throw it across the living room. I sent it back because I swear the side plate was messed up. I have had a couple that were a bit difficult, but nothing like that one was.

Try just a touch of grease on the open/close slide and in the groove into which it slides.  Also check the end of the slide to see if a burr has developed.   Mine did that and I removed it with a tiny diamond file.

Try loosening the spool tension. Whoops, I see you already tried that, sorry.

back off on the brake dial? I thought when you increase that setting it pushes out the brake drum and thats what causes the sideplate not to go back on.

 

at least that whats the curado 200i was like and I believe its the same design.
