    The drive belt was set for the wrong timing mark, it now works. But as showed in the last two pics, this still happen with the thread close to the tensioner
  3. Christoffer
    Oh, the drive belt was wrong, doh... It have multiple timing marks and the availabe manual say different. But this still happens:

    At the further right position the latche is closed, but the thread are no way close to pass at that point anyway. Apparently my hook grabs thread after thread, turning the machine by hand. The safety mechanism deployed earlier as you know. Could the timing belt be wrong? The walking foot and feed dog move perfectly in sync, but maybe they allways move together even if the bobin doesnt spin? The timing marks are correct accoring to manual

    Ok, never done that before. Is it the same as hook timing? Cant find info about it

    I tried 2 of each from 120-160. I also rewind the bobin a couple of times. Of this size I only tried this thred yes, it worked fine with the much finer cotton thread.

    It starts allready after two stitches, higher tension doesnt make a differance, I can higher it untill it wont move, no differance

    Still cant gett it to work. Trying the bigger needle (160/23)

    Now I skipped the middle thread guide hole. Yes, the thread pulls out fine after installing the bobbin as well. No, its about 3/4 full, thanks. It does not longer twist the top thread, how ever it tears a bit sometimes in the needle. Most of the times exactly nothing happens

    I've been sewing a lot, but only on others machines (industrial walkingfoots as well). I picked up a Brother LS2-B837 the other day and changed from a thin cotton thread to a tkt 20 (tex 150) nylon thread. It had a 130 needle, which would be about right accordingly to the thread brand (120-140). Seams to do well on the slide test. (Tried 120 and 140 as well) At first I tried with original thread tension, but it broke the thread. I losened both top and bottom tension a little, the bottom so that the bobbin doesnt slide down holding it in the thread, but loose enough to slide a bit with a gentle "jojo move". I would say its on the looser end now. The top tension I did loosen a lot, because the thread did not move at all, to a point where it falls off from the tension wheels. By the moment it will curl the top thread, and do a lot of birdnesting. Ive tried all day, with my limited error searchings skills, and I'm not even close to make one normal stitch, feels like a needle in a haystack!
