I have a classic Ambassadeur ABU 5000 reel. The line guide only moves from the right (I **** right-handed) to the left and back to the right when I give it a push and turn the handle but doesn't move to left again unless I give it another push so that it will engage with the grooves in the bar. I know this is an old reel, but can it be fixed?

If a spring scale is unavailable, tie the line to a secure point. With the rod tip up (about a 45 degree vertical angle), apply pressure by turning the handle. Gradually tighten the drag star. When the line reaches its breaking point, loosen the adjustment star ¼ turn. When not in use, be sure to rotate the drag start to reduce drag pressure.
