without sounding patronising.... have you tried just lubeing the lever??
bit of wd-40 or chain lube might just help free it up.
clean it all up first, check for any corrosion, if all looks healthy stick a bit of lube in and work the lever aorund a bit...
hopefully the simple things work the best for you
Good Luck

if it does it when cold, I''d look into fresh oil. cleaning and lubricating the assembly will certainly do it some good though.
