6500 problem

[chuckg]

I have fished Ambassadeur 6500s for many years and have never had a problem in cleaning them and fine tuning them. However, after I cleaned my 6500CL Big Game and put it back together I find it does not operate properly (I have done this same job many times without a hitch). When you give the handle a hard crank and suddenly stop, the spool keeps revolving with a light chatter. I have never had this occur before and thought I may have lost one of the little copper squares that go in the spool adjustment caps but I think everything is intact. Can't figure this out. Any help will be appreciated...
