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?ImageUploadedByTapatalk1439743741.077277.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1439743752.457491.jpg

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.)

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?

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

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

Im not sure if it goes with this reel but I do know it was inside this reel.
 
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>
