Clean and lube the break weight race inside the side plate (the brass ring). Use a Q tip with rubbing alcohol on one side to clean it and a few drops of oil on the other to lightly lube it.

You can also remove the spool shaft bearings, clean them with alcohol, and give them each one small drop of oil (no more).

If that doesnt work send them to Dan at ReelEx
