david,

long time.  ... have been fishing "LOTS"  so, not much time for anything else.

i have a curado 100d that i use for a winch on a flipping rod.  it got dirty, so, i decided i'd do a "quick" clean/lube yesterday ...30-45 min (i thought) ...2 hours later & it's not Working!

problem --- cleaned, greased, etc., & everything was fine ...til i tried to turn the handle ...wouldn't turn!!!

after 2 hrs, i've identified the culprit as the 2394(roller clutch inner tube).   just as soon as the two little ends go into place in the key washer, the handle will no longer turn.

i can put everything else together & all works fine,  but, as soon as i put that part in, it locks the drive shaft so that it no longer turns.

i am at wits end, have taken top cover off "many" times, but, no go when the 2394 is inserted. ...any ideas????

I'm not Dave (but I did stay at a Days Inn last week   ), but...

Leave the part out?   :-?

Sorry for the long delay, didn't see this post until now, you should have PM'd me..

Yup you put the Roller bearing pack in upside down. It only rolls one way, turn it over and I'll bet your reel works like it should...

Good Luck...

hey bud,

thanks,  and, YES< you're right...   before i read your post, i turned that little darling over the next time i went out to the shop & "VOILA" ...worked like a charm..  

i knew i should not have spent so long without just walking away & "rethinking" things, but, it was so simple a matter...

anyway, THANK YOU very much for your post.  i really appreciate your expertise & just wish that members on this board knew how Many, Many, Dollars worth of info that you've freely shared with us/them.   you're a class act.
