You may need a ribbon motor or motor board, however on the older wheelwriters sometimes the gear mesh gets sloppy and gears jam tooth for tooth. Try moving the ribbon lift gear/cam on rt. side of the carrier by hand with the machine off if it won't move that's the trouble. Wiggle it back and forth and it may free up.

It's an IBM. I don't know why it's under Lexmark.
I moved the cam on the right. It loosened up and it's working. You're a Fixya Master, DickyO! Thank you.
