Tom,
When you say “locks up”, do you mean it runs a short time and stops,. or that you can get no action at all ?
Have you tried to move the pallet fork manually back and forth with a piece of pegwood, ( with a few winds of power on the mainspring) and at the same time, watched the lock/slide action on the escape wheel ?
Is the guard pin on the fork dragging on the movement plate ?

Best of luck,

Randy
