There is a little lever under the carriage on the left,used for locking the carriage when in transit.Move the lever in the opposite direction,if that does not work press the Capital Lock Key then try it.If this does not work,it will be your carriage return spring having lost its tension.This is the round drum(wheel ) on the back of the carriage connected by a cord.
If the locking lever is off, then the carriage is bound, or one of the tabs is hung, try releasing all the tabs, pushing the space bar or the tab key while gently moving the carriage. Try all of the function like shift while gently pushing on the carriage always to the right.. also check the that the margins are not locked. This could be a lot of different things...
THERE IS A CARRIAGE LOCK ON THE MACHINE IF I REMEMBER RIGHT IT'S SO THE CARRIAGE DOSENT MOVE WHEN IT IN THE CARRING CASE. LOOK ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT END OF THE CARRIAGE JUST BELOW THE PLATEN KNOBS OR IT MAYBE A LEVER ON THE SIDE OF THE KEYBOARD
The solution is not right--there is a carriage return release lever on the far right of the typewriter, that engages a notch on the underside of the roller/carriage return--push it forward to release the lever and you are in business--it has a spoon shaped end and its on the right side
