the loop opener hook is tight till it moves to the right once it starts to move there is a little play in the opener. if i turn the machine over by hand as the shuttle misses the loop if i just turn it back a hair it grabs the loop when it makes the second pass.

as the machine rotates the hook brings the thread down then the loop spliter opens the loop and the hook grabs one side of the loop and pulls it over as the shuttle comes around to grab it it looks like the thread that is pulled over is just to high by a fraction of an inch for the shuttle to pick it up and carry it around to make the lock.

my champion will not sew it seems that the thread loop is pulled but the shuttle fails to grab it as it goes by like the loop is opened to high i have no knowledge of sewing machines . any help welcomed. thanks mark
