I've been trying to fix a problem with my ICB and think I need to step back and maybe get some other ideas. The right side is having trouble moving up. Left side moves up and down fine, right side moves down fine, but right side only moves very slowly when going up. Everything seems physically normal and identical to the left side. The "up slowness" primarily happens in the bottom half of the playfield, and then movement gets more normal the higher up you go. It seems like it should be a physical problem but I haven't been able to find the cause. The gears look fine, pulley system looks fine, and the three other directions work fine.
 
Have you replaced the belts? Make sure to go through the lubrication procedure as outlined in the manual as well. Would make sure all of that is done before proceeding. Marco Specialty has the belts.

Yes, and none of that would explain the current symptom.

I think it could if the belt is worn and slipping (hence slowing it down). Is the horizontal bar being caught (ie: could have a slight bend keeping it from sliding in and out...causing it to slow down). Sorry, just throwing ideas out there. My Zeke's is on the fritz too. Was doing something similar, but now seems the power supply is down. It is on my list to dig into. Will be interesting to hear if you find some other cause. Good Luck!
