Bolex 18 5 Super Question

Was given a Bolex 18 5 Super recently. As clean and mint as can be - NICE! Now the problem - 18fps doesn't seem to work. 5 works great but when switched to 18 it still runs at 5fps. Image quality seems very good. Anyone familiar with this machine? Any guesses as to what to look at to fix it.
