Any easy to do ideas to keep the pendulm moving?

The pendulum on my Grandfather clock will not stay swinging. I have tried leveling it up but that didn't seem to help. Any other ideas?

Maybe out of oil or does it have wears on the pivots? check them.

If the clock is level and your clock won't continue - you might check to see if the weights are the same. Sometimes they are different in weight from each other. Try swapping them. Of course it could just need a simple "lube and oil change" cleaning.
