Question
How can you fix a clock that the chim is wrong? If it is 2:oo oclock it will chim 6times.

Answer
Time and strike trains are out of sync with your clock.  to correct, stop your clock, move the hands to a position that causes the clock to chime.  allow the clock to complete that chime function.  Remove the hands and install them to reflect the exact time chimed.  Start the clock and by moving the minute hand forward untill it relects the correct time.  Allow each chime sequence to complete before proceeding to the next sequence.  This should correct your problem.
