Have you tried cleaning it? I suppose if you have been yoyoing for more than 2 years, you should’ve known that.  
If normal cleaning doesn’t work, try paper slip method, I made a tutorial back then, it’s in the sticky “Useful modification and maintenance guides - Clean, repair, tune, fix yoyos” in modding section.
