Hi, Philip, This sounds very much like the jack is binding against the let-off rail or a liberty rail, if there is one. With a key fully depressed make sure ther is a little space for the jack to be moved a little further. Check that the dip is not too deep also. IF the jack will not move then move the let-off rail slightly toward the key fronts or shorten the dip. Newton
