My book tells me that the diameter of the pins should be less than the distance between the tips of the teeth on the escape wheel, but not too much less or they will be unable to generate enough impulse to keep everything going.
I tried three sizes and they all seemed to work. Good practice on the lathe…..
It’s reassuring to know that there are others out there who have experienced the same difficulties as me.
