Raketa keyless works

[davro1]

Hi All,

I am very new to watches. I bought a non running old soviet watch, cheap to learn about watch making. The raketa came with a 2609.ha movement. I disassembled the movement extremely careful, cleaned all parts in an ultrasonic cleaner. The reassembled it extremely careful over 2days from photos I had taken & an online service of the movement showing how to oil & grease.

Since I got the watch back together It ran initially. But I have notice upon winding the keyless works is hit & miss. Some time it engages for winding in the correct position. Other times it is not disengaging as I set the time & I can feel the main spring winding when it should be disengaged.

When I disassemble from the dial everything seems to be working. 

I have greased the two keyless toothed winding gears as per the service video. It is obviously something I am overlooking or missing. Possibly too much grease, although I thought I used it sparingly or possibly wore gears or crown pin? 

Any advise would be welcome. 

 

Thanks lads

Does it look like this?

The sliding pinion has to firmly be shifted by the joke in order to either close the winding clutch or engage the setting gear.
