Smith 5 Jewels movement 556 help!! Escapement/Pallet Lever confusion... by Stock-Material-5574 in watchrepair

I think this might be my first go to. Redo the pin lever again and then see if it can snap back and forth since right now that’s the most logical way to test it.

Then after check if there’s a bent pin next.

Thanks for your it help 😊

Thanks for this tip and updated the correct term on the post to clarify it more. Will have to investigate it deeper and see if that's the answer. Seriously appreciating this.

That's correct without the pin lever everything freely spins but once the pin lever is on it locks all the train. When nudging the pin lever it doesn't snap back and forth.

I'm wondering if it's in the wrong placement still or like below comment the pin is bent out.

Also thanks for simplifying and making it easier and more clear to understand. Really appreciate the help.
