   Hi there! here are a few steps following which can solve the problem
   Oiling:-
   oiling is recommended every two to three years.  If allowed to run dry, most clocks will stop. Those which continue running without oil are usually subjected to excessive wear. When a clock is kept properly oiled, wear is kept to a minimum.  Proper oiling provides the correct oil to the necessary places in the right amount.
   
   Cleaning is recommended every ten to fifteen years.
   
   Restoration at the Clock Works means that we return a clock to as near new condition as possible.  Anything mechanical will wear over time due to the friction of one part against another.
   Hope it helps
   THANKS

   maybe the hour hand is on the wrong hand. i also had that problem. when it strikes at 3 o'clock the chime is for 12 o'clock instead of 3 o'clock. put it to 12 or 6 if it points to 12 and the chime is 6 only or vice versa.

   If it is pointing 6 or 12 set back the hour hand to 6 hrs back and try it again.

   When clock is at 1:00 oclock it chimes 4 times.  I tried turning it back
   three hours but it went right back to three hours fast.  This clock is
   newly acquired
