Hi Brian
Have you tried a lighter pendulum bob just take of the bob and replace it with a couple of 6mm nuts for a trial. this made a great difference to the reliability of mine.
Also the clock is Very sensitive to getting the beat correct the slightest tilt left or right will stop the clock . to get this right the clock needs to be mounted firmly on a base that can be adjusted IE held lightly in a vice, the ticks and tocks must be of equal length. don't worry if the clock ends up tilted slightly to one side this can be altered later.
When running the swing of the pendulum is very small probably only14mm or so.
I cannot understand why the adjustment for the back cock has been removed because you require this to get the drop on the scape equal.
Mine continues to run very reliably and is much admired by visitors, so keep at it I am shure you will win in the end.
