Default Troubleshooting a boat shuttle

I've finished cleaning and tweaking my Clemens Muller handcrank and am working on getting it sewing smoothly today. I can't find demos anywhere of exactly the shuttle I have, so I am asking the experts here if something looks wrong?

I've been able to get stitches but the bobbin thread is too hard to pull out of the shuttle and I cannot for the life of me figure out the problem. Testing each individual pathway everything seems smooth. The bobbin itself may not be spinning as smoothly once inside as it could? But I don't know. I have polished up the ends and looked for any possible rough spots. Adjusting the tension screw doesn't seem to make a lick of difference.
