Here is a technical bulletin from masport that might help.

Thanks Bruce...... I have just ordered the new clutch springs which reading the Tech Bulletin should fix my reel spinning at idle. Is there anything else that I should order ?

Cheers,
Arthur

Re #84003. Several attempts to download offered pdf failed. Just the title downloads. Can this be fixed? MacCullum

Hi MacCullum
I have downloaded the pdf using your profile.
It works fine.

Please ensure you have the latest pdf reader.

Any problems, please send me a PM with your email address.
I will attach the file to a response.

I hope this helps.
