Default Impact sprinkler

Anyone have any ideas why an impact sprinkler would rotate fine in one
direction, but not return? I have tried varying the water pressure up
and down, checked for debris, tried moving the collars around to
different spots and heights, but the trip pin just sticks on one side.
Any help appreciated!

If it is an actual "pin" that is sticking, and you can disassemble to
that point, get some silicone grease from a hardware store, and
lubricate the pin itself. It feels like anything but lubricant (it's
sticky as all get-out) but it works like a charm, and won't wash off.
