* The assembly of weights that are the clocks power supply should stand free of impediments. They should not be touching the pendulum or the clock walls when they descend.
* When you set off the pendulum swinging listen for a steady tick tock sound. The sound should be regular and even.
If the sound is not regular it is possibly because the clock is not standing vertically. Try out different positions and readjust as needed.
