With my 7000s I leave enough play in the spool so I can feel a slight bit of endplay when i work the spool back and forth. The spool should be in free spool when you test this. You don't want to have any grease on the worm gear--only oil-- or on the gears inside the left side plate( the ones that drive the levelwind). If the worm gear has grease it will slow the reel down. Try cleaning the bearings and then put a light oil on them. I use rocket fuel, the red one.
