Clyde,

How can you fix it if you don't know what the problem really is?

Don't install anything until you know what is wrong.

Go back, pull the action and diagnosis the problem. I doubt it but It could
be something minor - e.g. some foreign object under the wippens. It could be
something major like verdigris, or tight centers. It could be tight key
bushings. It could be many things. After you determine the problem, give the
lady an estimate for the cost of repairs. You might have to absorb the cost
of the additional trip, but that would be much less than the cost of
damaging your reputation.

If you install heating rods inside the action cavity, you're asking for
major problems later on (my opinion).

Just my take,

Gina
