  1. If you moved the hook to the left you "might" have too little clearance between the tab on the hook base & the cutout underneath the needle plate,you can either open up the cutout on the needle plate or move it slightly to the right.
  2. I think the clutch is kicked out,take the bobbin out,try pushing on the stitch length button ,turn the handwheel backwards until it goes into the slot,while holding the button down push the handwheel backwards until you hear a click or until it just won't turn anymore.This "should" get the clutch re-engaged.
  3. Put the screw for the eccentric, marked S on the eccentric into the slot (or V on the shaft)once you get it pushed to the left where it belongs & tighten the screw should get it feeding again.
  4. @gordonl We stock these from size #19-#27
  5. @AlZilla That guy in Toledo has them!
  6. $75.00 w/shpg.the shaft can be hard to get out you need to sand it lightly as it gets rust & dirt on it.Then oil it so it slides out easier.
  7. Turn it all the way one way,run it ,then turn it all the way the other,it should eventually go more & more each time.
  8. @friquant The new stitch length cam I have in stock uses allen screws to the shaft.the others are still slotted.
  9. I'll agree with @kgg the brush motor is the one to go with we might have 2 out of 1,000 go bad where we had 3 out of 10 of the brushless type go bad & gave up on them.
  10. There's 2 ways to fix it,replace it OR try sewing & using it w/o locking it up should make the part rock in the grooves to get it to free up,you need to tighten the smaller screw since that is what connects the stitch cam to the shaft.
  11. There's a wingnut adjustment on the back side you need to move to the "H" side.This will make the foot lift higher when it walks.
  12. The easiest way to check the hook timing on this type of machine is if you drew an imaginary line from the center of the bobbncase to the center of the front needleplate screw the point of the hook should be directly under it when the needlebar is all the way down.
  13. Grab theneedlebar & push it front to back to check for play,make sure the hook tip is good & that the bobbincase isn't too loose.Then some samples of what you want to sew along with some thread ( in case they don't have any) & see if it will sew your material ok.These are great machines just keep it oiled good & all the parts are still available.
  14. So is the long groove of the needle facing the front?Do you have a manual for it?
  15. I hate to ask,but are you sure your turning it the right way?
