I have all my switches (all others are Lionel 022) powered by a seperate transformer. This particular kline switch does not always complete its throw. It is then stuck in this position until it is moved manually. All of my switches are wired to a seperate transformer. It is providing 11 volts. Do I just need more power?? It only sticks when returning to straight position. It sound like no one suggests lubrication

Take apart the switch and move it manually, feeling for any resistance to movement. It could be the plunger in the solenoid, or the gears that move the points.
The switch does not need lubrication; it should operate properly without any.

The K-Line needs more voltage, 16-18 is what I use.
If you take the cover off and study how the switch works when activated, you will see that the wire "hoop" that activates the microswitch needs to be snapped into position affirmatively.
