Thanks for the reply guys. #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, when you say don't get any oil on the drag washers, do you also mean the fibre washers. From my outcome last night I probably put something back in the wrong order or flipped one of the pieces. I'll take a look at it when I get back home tonight.

John - When I took the reel apart I followed the directions from Steve Barratt's diagrams and hopefully I did it correctly. The spool seized up during the cast but it was not due to the button popping up. It stayed down. When I did open up the reel, there was a lot of crud around the main gear. Hopefully with your suggestions I can fix the problem but if I can't, John you're more than welcome to take a look at it. I bought the reel form Steve Barratt in Australia. Thanks again guys.
