Added 6 V to SP7 as suggested...no joy!!

Help. As suggested in other post regarding the pendulum not swinging far enough, I added a 6V power plug and still have the same issue. The pendulum swing is close but just not far enough. Can anyone suggest a fix for this?

I am sure you know that the magnet must be as close to the coil as possible and I used a rare earth magnet (neodymium) because they are much more powerful than

the iron type. The new magnet would increase the swing. I can't remember if your present magnet must be installed with a polarity or not but it may be worth while to reverse the magnet and give it a try. It also may be that the pendulum may be too heavy not allowing the magnetic pulse to push it far enough. One other thing I noticed is the ratchet wheel is allowed to move backward with the paw. This would also require more swing from the pendulum .
