Excellent, video really helped....looks like the rack tail (the piece that contacts the snail) is hitting the snail in the wrong place..I think if you put the hour hand on and turn that by itself it will advance the snail to a different spot (on most all Korean clocks I have worked on) a little different setup, the hour hand has 2 tabs that fit over the hour post so that is in a set spot, just a matter of lining up the hour hand to the #s on the dial. The rack tail should drop onto the snail approximately 1/2 way on the snail step...a sure way to get the setup correct is to go from 12:00 to 1:00 without any binding. Also when the rack drops and the rack hook is released into it....the hook should drop in between the teeth on the rack, otherwise other adjustments are needed.
Have a great day, William
