Definitely check the balance rail holes, they should just catch and 
fall with a slight touch.  Also check the depth of the milling on 
those.  I'm not sure if this problem occurs on Yammys but it is 
common that I have to drill the hole down to the proper depth to 
reduce binding on the balance rail pin, sometime the mortice is full 
of torn up wood fibers and you need to clean it out with a dremel.
