[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 185429, member: 25"]Clocks cannot be too wound up. This is only possible with people. Sounds as if it may be out of beat. Is the tick perfectly regular or like someone walking along with one foot in the gutter. You could let it run down some more with no pendulum. This has the effect of allowing the old gummed up oil that might be there to be massaged into something more like slippery. This reduces general friction. Reducing power loss in the train may be enough to make the difference between keeping running and stopping.[/QUOTE]
