Well Ill be damned, less than 24 hours and you have helped me troubleshooting an issue ive had for over a year. The drive shaft is now turning. Ill keep you updated on any issues that may follow... do I use it manually to ensure that all blockages are removed for the time being?

Spot on, I'll go and try to reset it now. Thank you

Hi Wizcrafts, I remember reading a lot of your posts when choosing this machine in the first place, you were very informative. Please find attached a photo (hopefully) and see if this would make sense regarding those diagnoses. The area circled in red (I believe is the hook drive shaft) is not turning with the areas circled in green. Thank you very much, Merrick

Ah okay, ill try to find a suitable file format. Thank you for letting me know. Basically, the handwheeel turns but the drive shaft for the hook is not turning with the rest of the mechanism when viewed from the underside of the machine. Everything else seems in order! Cheers, Merrick

Thank you so much for your guidance.. I have tried to reengage the safety clutch but nothing is happening to the button as I push the hand wheel back, I can feel a very small amount of feedback but nothing past that, it certainly isn't dropping down as I believe it should? This is my first industrial machine (actually my first machine altogether), it might take me a bit of time to troubleshoot, please bear with me! Thank you very much again for your help so far. 20260120_182522.mp4 20260120_182905.mp4

Hi all, New arrival here having some trouble with a Juki LS1341. The bobbin thread wasnt being picked up so I took the basket out and noticed that the hook wasnt spinning and feels very stiff. The handwheel still turns smoothly but the hook does not turn with it. Ive checked for thread/broken needles, with no luck. I cant actually get the hook out of the machine, it seems to be lodged in pretty tight! Ive watched some fantastic videos by some legendary contributors on the forum (I remember your names from years ago when I first started looking at the machines) but unfortunately havent come to any solid conclusions regarding the issue. For context, I bought the machine in great working order 2 years ago and have had it stored in a safe, clean workshop and then at home for the last year. It is absolutely unused since purchase, and was working perfectly before transit (short 2 hour drive). I contacted the seller who has advised to bring it back for repairs, but if I can solve this myself it would be beneficial to my understanding of the machine and hopefully save me some travelling/money. I can attach some images if that would be helpful, or upload a short video somewhere and link it? Thank you for taking the time to read this. Ill be concise in the future to save time! Cheers, Merrick
