Curado spooling issue - please help

[FlatoutFishin]

Spool wasn't engaging the gear... right?

Hey Sonny, nice meeting you tonight, sorry you had to drive so far to hook up, got your reel home, put it all together & it works fine for me besides needing a deep cleaning, I figured out what you did wrong & will show you when you pick the reel up. Hope the lure I picked out for you catch you some fish.

It is hard to tell in the first pic, but in the second, the small gold gear is backwards, & looks right in the 3rd pic.

[ubermensch1324]

Still not working but I've figured out something that might help.

Dawg - that didn't help but I tried what you said and when the small gold gear + spool was taken out it DID turn the spool on it's own. That seems to not be the problem. Even when I put it in the curado casing I can turn the spool shaft with gear on and they all turn. It lead me to figure out kinda what the problem is below.



In picture 1) When big gold gear is snapped down flush - the spool won't turn but the long gold handle does. It seems to just not move the big gold gear which in turn obv. doesn't move the little gold cast control gear.

In picture 2) When a space is left the gears DO make contact and the spool turns! Great! But even if I leave it like this, when I snap the reel cover back on it just gets pushed back down and reverts back to picture 1.

In picture 3) This is a frontal view of picture 1. When I turn the big gold reel handle with the big gold gear flush down (pic 1) both of the small white plastic gears under the 1 big gold gear turn. It just doesn't turn the small gold spool gear.

PS - Yes, under the main big gold gear I do have the silver washer gear (the one w/notches) plus the circular black plastic washer on it.

And thanks a lot in advance for the advice and help!!!

Uber, this is a horrible problem that can never be solved. Give me your Curado and alleviate thew pain you are suffering.
There now. Don't you feel better already?

Haha. I possibly have another curado that needs maintenance I can give you! Gonna go look in my garage today I have lots of old fishin' stuff.

If this doesn't help, I am reading book right now that suggested to send it to Shimano in Calif. They will return it in about 2 weeks and only charge $15.00 or so. (book written in 2003, so it will be more by now)

I sent mine to the Reel Inn in Baytown this year, excellent job and mailed back in 2 days.
