Reverse travel intermittent

Hi, working on a Sumitomo-Yale with a Nichiyu controller. Repaired wiring and blown transistor and replaced dead cmos battery. Everything works fine except reverse is quirky. The contactor clicks on and the buzzer sounds but there is no travel. If I give it a little accelerator before moving the lever into reverse it will usually work. I'm sure it's just an adjustment but not sure where to start. Ideas ?

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
