Have a Masport Olympic 500 twin drive that looses reel drive after cutting for about half an hour. Have checked clutch corks all ok adjusted cables right up still like clutch slipping. Any one had this before? Its one that has top levers top and bottomnd no reel clutch lock.

Here is a technical bulletin from masport that might help.

Thanks Bruce...... I have just ordered the new clutch springs which reading the Tech Bulletin should fix my reel spinning at idle. Is there anything else that I should order ?

Cheers,
Arthur

Re #84003. Several attempts to download offered pdf failed. Just the title downloads. Can this be fixed? MacCullum

Hi MacCullum
I have downloaded the pdf using your profile.
It works fine.

Please ensure you have the latest pdf reader.

Any problems, please send me a PM with your email address.
I will attach the file to a response.

I hope this helps.
