Read all the way through before 'starting'.
Pull the springs off the fly weight at the points indicated. Remove the other spring also.

Look into the hook area where the spring loop attaches for wear, or something that might 'catch'.
With the springs off, manually move the counter weight as it would when starting/stopping to check for 'hang ups' again. The weights may fall out
when the springs are removed so note how they are put together first. The fly weight will pivot on the round plastic(?) ring that pushes against the switch actuator yoke.
If you have a bearing puller, pull the bearing and pull the ring completely off to inspect the shaft where the ring slides.
The yoke that actuates the switch would need to be moved out of the way to get the ring off.
The yoke may be binding, so check it's motion.
I think that covers the bases, but not necessarily in order.
Reassembly of the fly weights and springs can get tricky! Two hands required!;)
