Penn 149 Reel Repair Question
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 10:17 am
Hi All,
I recently picked up a second hand penn 149 reel. The anti-reverse wasn't working on it so I took it apart and found that the dog spring wasn't there, so I went ahead and replaced that. Unfortunately, it still doesn't appear to be working. Looking at a schematic, it looks like I'm missing a washer underneath the main gear. I'm thinking that this helps hold the dog in place and on the teeth of the anti-reverse gear. Does anyone know if this is the case? Also is there a place to source part WITHIN Canada for these reels? I've found some great websites in the US but unfortunately they are not shipping internationally, or charge an arm and a leg to get here. I would hate to pay $20 US to ship a 0.15 washer to me...
Thanks!
Matt
