The teeth seem fine, it is the actual ratchet piece and spring that are broken. Any way to fix this ? Or do I need to just replace it. Jimi
Jimi, The 1133 are notorious for the ratchet gear slipping. If the gear still has the teeth on it it is probably slipping. I have repaired several of them by center punching the shaft they are mounted on thus swelling it. You can also drill about a # 50 hole through the gear into the spool and insert a pin made from safety wire. If the teeth on the gear are gone then there is not much you can do.
