IBm Wheelwriter 5--6 keys won't advance after typing

Hi- I haven IBM Wheelwriter 6 typewriter that has 6 keys all together (P, 1/2, [ and the L, ; ' ) that type ok, but when they type, they do not cause the carriage to advance a space so that the next letter can be typed. All of the other keys on the typewriter type fine and cause the carriage to advance normally. Does anyone know of any solutions?

Thanks.
