Thanks for the info. That did it. It's great having access to a wealth of knowledge that people are willing to share. It is highly appreciated.

Pcox, When I loosen the 2 screws a little bit it works perfect. I oiled it and up and worked it for a while but as soon as I tighten the screws it's back to the same thing. I'll keep workimg with it. I can loosen the screws when I need to change stitch lengths because I won't change them often. Thanks for the info.

Thanks Guys, Bob, I tried adjusting the clutch tighter. First 2 turns on each, then 2 more on each but it still tripped. While I had it tightened I got an extra pair of hands and had them hold the button and turn the flywheel while I used a punch and tapped in the spanner wrench holes in the adjuster until I got it to the 4 mark. It worked. I now have 4 stitches per inch. I loosened the clutch back 2 turns on each and I guess I'm good to go. I hope my method won't cause any problems. Thanks for the help, Jim

Thanks for the reply, I did see that post but this machine doesn't look like the same setup. It doesn't look like jjs's pic or the cut away diagram. Also I have read about there being 2 buttons but this machine only has 1 button and the other is a screw with an oil hole and an oil wick inside. I will try to post some pictures. Thanks, Jim

Hello All, Been hanging around and soaking up very valuable information for some time but this is my first post. I recently purchase a Singer 211W155 and got it setup with a new servo motor and reducer. The problem I am having is that I cannot change the stitch length. I hold down the button, turn the flywheel until it clicks the button in which is around 6 stiches per inch. When I try to turn to adjust, it is very hard to turn and ends up turning the belt driven pulleys and knocking the machine out of time. I reset the timing by holding in the button and turning until it drops back in at the 6/in mark. Am I doing something wrong? Is something stuck? I think this machine did sit for a while without being used. Thanks for all of your great help, Jim
