Hello and welcome - the most likely culprit is old, hardened grease. IIRC there is an arm which slides in towards the trip pawls to nudge them when the velocity increases in the run off groove. This activates the return/stop mechanism. If that's a bit sticky it would cause your problem. Off with the platter and soften the grease with liberal application of a hair dryer. If that improves things - give it a proper clean.
