Abu Garcia reel help

[whitetailhntr]

So I recently purchased a reel from a member on this forum. After using it a few times it became very rough to reel. After taking apart I found a piece of wire in with the gears. Does anyone know where this might've came from?

So, yours may feature a spool tension indicator wire?
Not a good possibility as it rests under plastic knob on side.(Shown above, sorry my computer skills are elementary.)

No bait clicker and after removing that spring the reel operates ok

 

[WaterWaif]

Nope, I don't see your piece anywhere.
The K in the KC3 is alleged to indicate K-Mart.
Perhaps something was in those reel models not in others?

Does the reel function without it?

That part must go to the thumb trigger. Once the trigger is pressed it will not pop up on its own.

Good topic, moving it to the rod & reel section for more exposure.

Still don't see it's location or use, the spring/wire you removed.
The thumb bar spring on some is a small coil spring. On others it is part 22808. Unless an engineering change was made from your spring to the flat one. Shown on part # 220808 above.
If a parts source is located, the info on reel foot is required.

One mention of thumb bar sticking, besides cleaning , was to roll spool back an eighth inch or so before depressing it.
Imagine that's easier said than done with a fish on....

Are you sure it goes with that reel? https://www.ereplacementparts.com/abu-garcia-4600-kc3-ambassadeur-parts-c-187196_187197_187294.html

I wonder if it could be 13084 off the diagram?

 

[WaterWaif]

There is one way to find out.... :LOL2:

So Abu Garcia is saying that the part is the clutch arm. Part #22807

Interesting! Must be different than the schematics I found. Has me wondering how it came loose too.
Crack that thing open and fix it now.. =D>
