I made a spring special for the shuttle carrier and now it's working perfectly. Thank you for your help.

One thing I've noticed is that it misses less with the bigger thread and bigger diameter needle.

Here is a picture of the amount of wear on the wall.

I'm using 29x3 needles and I've tried size 69 thread and size 92. I don't use 92 in the bobbin though. The shuttle works fine in my 29k-71 singer, I'll order a new one and see. The thread slips by the spring on the shuttle carrier easily. It's almost like the spring doesn't keep the shuttle against the wall tight enough to pick up the loop. The wall is worn, but I didn't think it was that bad. I'll mess with the timing some more and see.

I have an Adler 30-1 that keeps missing stitches. I'm pretty sure the timing is right. The needle is adjusted toward the bobbin as far as possible on the needle bar.The spring on the shuttle carrier broke and was replaced with one for a singer. I don't know if that is the problem. Any thoughts?
