Problem using local variables in sxb2

I was having trouble with this code
No matter what I passed to this subroutine (0,1,2) the IF always returned true (input was read as 0)
Changing counter from a WORD to a BYTE fixed it.
I have a feeling this may have something to do with what i set the local stack size to?
Am i correct in assuming that a stack of 16 is equivalent to a word, and therefor i overflowed my stack?
I am still working on this code, but if you want to view it in its current entirety it is available at: www.hellspark.com/dm/ebench/sx/dave/cdavenger.sxb
UPDATE:
It would appear that my Local_Drive variable is incrementing itself even after the above 'fix' ?!?! I'm still trying to figure it out
UPDATE2: The for loop on another local variable is causing it somehow!
UPDATE3:
I created a global counter variable and it fixes the problem!

Lift_Delay CON 120 'This is at the top of the program, thought it might be handy to know it was over 255.
For Local_Counter=0 to Lift_Delay
PULSOUT White_CD_Lift, Lift_Right
PAUSE 20 'I had delay_ms sub but replaced to simplify
NEXT

Use BASIC on the Propeller with the speed of assembly language.
