Fuego LT ticking noise
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2018 11:15 am
Fishing in the heat on Saturday my relatively new Fuego LT developed a ticking sound. Couldn't see any line or grass seeds or anything caught in the rotor, so carried on using it, and being irritated by the noise. Got it out to have a look into the problem tonight and spent some time peering at it to determine where the noise was coming from. Thought it seemed to be the rotor and so was about to take it apart to investigate when I noticed something...
Turns out the bit of red trim under the rotor than says "Magseal" is a bit of metallic tape, and it had become unstuck at one end and was responsible. Pulled it out so it won't do it again. Sticky tape? Really? LOL. Got a ballistic coming, hope they went with paint on that one!
