Head feed will not engage

I've never seen this before so it had to happen to me. Haven't used the head feed in over a year. So, get a job set up and the feed will not engage. Not talking the trip lever, this is the feed engage lever on the right side of the head.

When turning the lever clockwise, it will go to about the 12 o'clock position and stop. The lever will go to the "Engage" position when turn CCW but will go only slightly further. Didn't want to force.

I'm thinking it's probably just gunked up and I'll have to take the top off the head, but..... the way my luck is going, it will probably be down weeks waiting for the one part nobody has in stock.
