Several things come to mind.
1. The sequence of washers in the clutch pack is incorrect.
2. The brakelining washers are fouled with oil/grease.
3. The outside metal washer (the one closest to the knob) is hanging up on the edge of the brass portion of the mainshaft.
4. HT-100 washers fade when wet.

1. The proper sequence of washers, going from the deepest in the spool out to the knob, is as follows:
octagon metal washer 58-704
teflon washer 56T-704
round metal washer 57-704 (small outside diameter)
asbestos washer 56B-704
octagon metal washer 58-704
asbestos washer 56B-704
round metal washer 57A-704 (large outside diameter)
NOTE: The outermost, closest to the knob, round metal washer has slightly larger OD. About 0.025 inches. It is kind of hard to see but it is definately there (different part number).
2. I find the drag works best when all washers are bone dry.
Wash any oil/grease with plenty of brake cleaner.
3. The outermost washer tends to hang up on the edge of the brass portion of the shaft. Sometimes you have to work the spool back and forth as you seat the spool onto the shaft. If this doesn't work, seat the knob lightly then rotate the spool. It will pop down into place.
4. It's a greenie so it should have asbestos washers. HT 100s are lousy when they get wet.
5. Make sure the teflon washer between the spool and the clicker ratchet wheel is in place.
Hope this helps. Good luck. 'butcher
