Thanks guys- I will try again... I just swapped out that machine head for a singer 111, so I can work on the 241 issue on the side- hopefully I can get it going again with a usable stitch w/o having to dismantle anything too crazy.
I really don’t think I pushed the plunger down while the machine was running/ engaged , but if I did, could that be the issue?
how does one troubleshoot that- if that is what happened?
