Expert.

OK I have uploaded a couple of vids on youtube showing my method. The first spring is quite big with a height of .45 x .20 strength . the second vid is a smaller spring a height of 1.1 x .10 strength. Apologies for the quality but it was recorded on my iPhone using a stand also the second vid is not published until the 24th. so it might not show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjoUvRwogXA

Thanks everybody! I'll probably spend some of my Christmas holidays to work on this project. More updates to come

While cleaning doesn't fix everything neither does the handiwork of others applying excessive oil. I had a pocket watch the other week that was like that was literally drenched in oil and for that cleaning is the proper repair. The unfortunate problem with learning watch repair is that everybody breaks stuff. All of us remember the stuff we've broken. If you not breaking watches you're not working on them. But with time The things that you break diminishes considerably hopefully.

Hi It sounds very much like the pallet/fork jewel you put back is not set right causing a miss lock on the escape wheel, There are two things you can do , one is ti reset the pallet jewel or tow and probably the quickest is to find a donor movement on ebay as swap in the pallet/fork. adjusting the jewel can and probably will take an age without the propper tools.

Thanks for your responses. I removed the cannon pinion and used a smooth broach and a pair of finger nail clippers to tighten as suggested. In addition I lubricated the cannon pinion prior to staking it back onto the driving wheel. Yes, this movement has a Achilles heel with this design, but now its runs great and the hands work beautifully. BTW, good luck finding a 4F part for this caliber movement. Again, thanks for all the help.
