not sure what you mean? if you have the lever over to "free spool" then the lever is holding the main shaft out. this disengages carrier assembly and keeps the pick up pin retracted. the whole reason the pins stay retracted when you flip the lever back is the carrier roller is still sitting extended until the handle is turned and the rollers hit the little bumps on the end of the body. this forces the rollers outward and lets the spring retract the carrier assembly back to where the rollers (pick-up pins) now stay out.The pro reel when you flip it to engage the handle is free spool until you move the handle. The free spool side is constant. But I prefer to flip it back and forth. I don't trust the way it works.
?wonder who "That guy",was ???Thanks. Saw a video on youtube the guy put it in free spool and turned the handle and it engaged automatically.

This is what I mean. Just not a poet with words..not sure what you mean? if you have the lever over to "free spool" then the lever is holding the main shaft out. this disengages carrier assembly and keeps the pick up pin retracted. the whole reason the pins stay retracted when you flip the lever back is the carrier roller is still sitting extended until the handle is turned and the rollers hit the little bumps on the end of the body. this forces the rollers outward and lets the spring retract the carrier assembly back to where the rollers (pick-up pins) now stay out.
the pro is the best fool proof way to keep the reel disengaged. Although there are a lot of people that prefer pushing the button and switching the pro reel back to "button style". Sounds to me like your reel is working fine DFA#1
