Check if there is a slight play up/down in each wheel!

If that is spinning freely, try adding the barrel and try again.

If these two steps are ok, then add the train without the pallet arbor assembly.

Make sure it spins freely when you turn the crown a little, a bit of a backlash is even better.
Ok, I'll follow these steps next time I sit down to it. I had to step away from it to keep my sanity by doing something achievable for a bit. Thanks [mention]Yoda[/mention] !
