i was right! the shuttle is sticking in the plate and not closing
after taking it apart you could see high points and marks where the shuttle was sticking

i have now cleaned up the rough castings around the port hole and have also slightly shrunk the diameter on the shuttle
it is now moving more free to the full stroke
