Smobaby Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Looks lie bail arm has jumped over the stop. Pull the bail arm off have a look stop might be worn out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolongeramember Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 The screw that holds the arm might have come loose and the arm has come away from its position. Might have to take it apart and check the springs and stoppers are all correctly placed and put it back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelm Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 There's not a lot to them, as long as it's not bent out of shape, which is pretty common, then simply pull it to bits and see what's broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerotao Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 The bail spring guide has popped out of it slot on the bail arm. Just open the cover on the side of the bail arm with the line roller and slot it back in. The bail spring guide sits inside the spring. not that hard. would take about 1min.

Restyle Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Be warned the spring in the bail arm is a massive pain to put back in. did it twice and spent alot of time trying to get the spring in correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
