[Rhodes22-list] Fixing a jammed genny

Dear Rhodies,

I am having a problem with reinstalling my furling 170 genny. I can slide
the luff tape into the slot and raise it to about 6 inches from the top, but
it then jams and cannot be persuaded to travel the rest of the way. The
halyard without the sail will easily go up to the top. I have lubricated the
mechanism with dry lube.  Does anyone have a suggestion for raising the sail
the entire way?

Thanks
