There should be 2 pins: one sets the distance that the delay mechanism has to travel - this is the one that you mentioned - the second is one that engages or disengages the pallet into the star wheel teeth to adjust the speed of the mechanism's travel. This will ride in a different slot in the cam, and it engages when you go from 60 to 30. The pin may be out of its slot, or it may be bent or broken. This is one that sometimes gets mashed if you fail to get it into its slot and then tighten the cam and front cover back down onto the shutter... you may find it bent over sideways a bit.

In this photo, the "first pin" is just above my thumb, about even with the middle of the focus knob of the camera, and the "second pin" is at the end of the arc-shaped arm at the top of the escapement module, just to the left of the 2 red arrows:
