Arby:
Correct, it will not snap back out of free spool to strike when I crank the handle. I looked a bit deeper last night and found that there are two small posts on the main gear that hit a dog and trip the baitrunner handle back to normal. It looks like the gear may may be worn and the posts pass under the dog instead of hitting it. Maybe a new drive gear will fix the prob. But again there are so many parts and springs in there, if I open it more it may "explode".
I have a coouple of spares so its not critical right now.

Thanks for the input all..
