Lincoya Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) I have a Quantum Accurist AC 500CX that has a "growl" in it when I'm reeling my lure in. I have cleaned it, re-oiled the bearings, and regreased the gears. It still "growls". Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

KcDano Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) Gene, you might consider lapping the gears if the problem isn't due to: worn gears, incorrect assembly or parts out of tolerance.

BobP Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Gene, I've had good luck solving growling gears by lubricating them with Shimano Drag Grease. It's a heavy, sticky cosmoline grease intended for fiber drag washers but it can work wonders on gears when something gets nicked up.
