chiocciola

Hi all guys, i have a problem with my machine. when i put an empty bobbin on the place where it charge sometimes it doesn't twist. If i help the bobbin to turn with my hand it works but only if don't stop to sew. Other times it works very well without do anything. i tried to unmount all the piece but i can't find anything broken and i don't know what to do but the problem is very annoying. Did it ever happen to you guys or do you have any idea of what i should check? thanks a lot

thanks for yours replies and sorry for the delay. @Constabulary what you said make sense about the safety clutch, i'm very happy they put it otherwise my machine was broken. you are also right about read the manual before do anything on the machine. @Trox Hi Trox, i already seen some your messages about the adler 267 273. actually i think everything is ok, the clutch should be in the right place and it sew really well! i also mounted a servo motor with needle synchronizer and it is another world versus my old and dear singer. thanks again for all your support and time.

goodmorning, yesterday evening i put the machine in the original way. thanks to Costabulary who warned me! in fact it was not wrong the way i did, it was the wrongest way. The allen i unscrewed i thought was for blocking the shaft, in fact there was a thing a bit strange... when i unscrewed the allen the first time there was a sign of the screw on the shaft, after i regulated the shaft (in the wrong way, don't do it at home guys) the sign of the screw was in the same spot, a bit strange but it was after midnight and i was a bit tired... yesterday when i tried to put all in the original way i use the clamps again and i saw that the part who was moving was not the one i tought but was the part with the pulley for the belt! indeed if you put enought strong with the clamps and you turn the handwheel you can hear that something go out of place and then you can easily move all, when you complete the loop it go in the original way and you have again to put a bit of strong. i put all in the original way and i hope everything is fine. after this i played only with the needle bar and i think i scored it because now it is sewing well, here a video of the timing. thanks, thanks and thanks again.

wow, thanks a lot Constabulary! the first thing as i came home will be to put all in the original way. thanks!

your reply is scaring me. actually when i unscrewed the allen i looked inside the hole and i didn't see any flattened point but only the sign of the screw. anyway i did the change yesterday night and i was a bit tired, today i want make more experiments. i have to admit that i didnt understand very well if for regulate i have only to play with the needle bar or also with the bobbin position... according to the post of Wizcrafts i have to do both of them, maybe i unscrewed the wrong part and there was a better way to do it? Thanks

thanks for your reply, yesterday i did some progress. first of all i played a bit with the needle bar, after that i played a little under the machine. this was my POV i unscrewed the allen (green arrow) and than with a tongs i took the tube and i manually moved the wheel of the machine, in this way the bobbin stayed motionless. i don't know if it is the right way or not.. but it worked. it sews well if i go slow but if i increase the speed it miss some stitches, i think because the timing are not well regulated, is it possible? Thanks

thanks for your reply. today i'm going to take a look to the needle bar. about the timing do you have a nice tutorial o explanation for understand which parts i have to regulate? i understand a bit how it should work but honestly i don't know which part i have to regulate for first. thanks

thanks for the reply, unfortunatly i already had this book and it didn't helped me. i did a video i'm reading manuals about fixing timing but most of the photos are for vertical bobbins. ps. i'm using 134-35R needles #21 thanks

thanks for the reply. actually i have the manual but the part about the timing is not explained... here there is the list of manuals avalaible for this machine https://www.duerkopp-adler.com/en/main/Support/downloads/index.html?action=search&prop0=%2Fcommons%2Fdownload%2Fpublic%2F267%2F&prop1=%C2'> do you have any good video tutorial of a similar machine for learn how to timing the hook-needle? thanks

Thanks Tom for the quick reply. i did the change you mean, i didn't see at the start but i think now it is in the right way. i tried again but it didn't sew, probably i have also to regulate the screw on the right but i don't know in which way i have to put it. thanks

Hi all, i'm a new member of the forum. my name is Alessandro and i write from Milan, Italy. actually i don't sew leather but i'm working with fabrics for military equipment so the machines are similar... i recently bought an used adler 267 373 and when i was playing with it for the first time i got some thread stukked in the bobbin area. i found this cool video )with the explanation for unmount this part, i did it but now the machine it is not working, is like if the down thread is not catched by anything. i saw there is a long hole near the bobbin area for some regulation but actually i don't know exactly how to use it... i came from an old singer 331k24 and the system is really different and i feel a bit lost. I hope to find some help from you expert guys, thanks in advance to all.
