IF pushing the bars to the left helps the lock function, check the soft “bumper” stop on the top of the left fork slider. There will be a bit of an indent from contact with the frame through the years. Rotate the stop until the recess is in the contact position.

I blew it out with compressed air and that seemed to work. It's turning smooth now. Maybe I'll try some kind of cover to keep the dust out.
