How did you clean your bearings? They need to be flushed out. Then very little oil put back in them. Best thing I have found is.. Rpm Bearing Blaster.. I actually got it from a Hobby shop. Cost $8. You can see them on youtube. And as stated earalier.. Amount of oil and oil type does make a big difference. Look up miniature bearing care and cleaning. You find a lot of good info. Some of the best info I got was from Radio control car owners, and of all things.. A yo-yo champion..lol... They use the same bearings as our reels do!
