Get's you the current manuals in english.

There is a Belt that wears and you need to replace..

Shimano recommends that you use PermaLube. I use it and it's great for my reel. Here is a video on Shimano reel maintenance.

Go to the shimano website, at the very bottom of the page is written contact us. Call the number and a rep will hook you up.

I would say find a shimano dealer in your area or goto shimano.com
sports authority is a shimano dealer if theres one in your area

log onto shimano.com and there you will find manuals for everything they produce, failing that request it from customer support, they are very friendly to deal with

for lots of different reels and makes

thanks for your efforts

You're right, you shouldn't force it. I would first try lubricating the parts. If that doesn't work, your best bet is to contact the manufacturer. It's possible that the item is faulty, but more likely you might be missing a step or two in the assembly process.

Ebay is probably your best bet. Here is a link to one I just found there for $16 :

I'm looking for a bale spring kit. Have you found a source?

Your question came to fitness equipment section letting you know so you redirect it in the proper category. Good Luck

i have a mony of 2,5000 may sister want by a bag to her self? how mach laef may money whe i by a bag wen a bag is 1,5000?

you need to plurge you carb and make sure your choke is working the way u plurge your carb is pull the drain screw on the bottom of carb and pump yuor hand ball on your fuel line this will run any excess oil,water or crude out of the carb you need to check you idle by pulling the throtle cable off and turn the brass or black barrel to the right to up the idle if that doesnt work you need to pull the carb and run a peice of a wire wheel through the pilot jet witch is the smallest brass jet in carb if that jet is cloged it will not idle

remove the spool and check the teeth and gear arent missing a tooth-if not give it a good clean and oil

The drag is set by turning the knob which secures the spool to the reel.

To cast, hold the line against the rod with index finger on right hand. Then flip the bail open which frees the line to come off the spool. The bail, when it gets to a certain point will lock open. When casting, release your finger on the line when the rod gets to 11 o'clock.

Flip the bail back by turning the reel handle -- the bail will pop back over the reel -- then you're ready to reel it in.

The bail is the wire-like device on the top of the reel.

There is probably a button/switch for turning anti-reverse on & off -- when on, this keeps the reel from turning backwards when force is applied to the line.

I think those are the highlights.

With what you say,I had a very similar problem.This may not be the same as yours but what I did was a new set of sparkplugs.It worked.For the price,for the ease of doing it,it was a cheap fix.This may not be a 100% fix for yours but if it does help you,great.My motor used to go through sparkplugs a lot.It was never solved.Hope this helps
