Finally bit the bullet and bought a servo with synchronizer for my Consew 226. The motor installed fine and is running good (except it tends to roll backwards at the end of a stitch, but I increased the brake all the way and that seemed to help a bit) the problems started when I went to install the synchronizer. The instructions are horrible but I have a good basic idea of what (I think) it's supposed to go on like. The biggest problem is that the was no bolt on the end of my machine's handwheel. There was, however, a tapped hole. Except none of the bolts that came with the synchronizer work. They are all too big. I'm about to go to the store to see if I can get another bolt that might fit the threads that ARE in my machine, but I'm worried about the bolt being too small then for the connector that I'm trying to bolt on. I'm worried it might slip. Any advice? To give more info, I have a used Consew 226 that came out of a Lazy Boy furniture factory, and a Mophorn servo with synchronizer (looks like all the other China made servos out there) I'm attaching photos of the handwheel of my machine, and the contents of the synchronizer package. There are also a few things that came with the synchronizer that I'm not sure what they would be for. Maybe they can help with my machine, I'm not sure. Thanks for any advice you can give. I guess if all else fails I can just run it without the synchronizer.

Out side the waistband for a Sig. Thank you for looking. Comments appreciated .The inky way to learn

Hi. Prior to buying my machine (Consew 226R), I did a lot of reading here so I just want to start by saying I really appreciate this forum. While everything worked just fine when I bought it, and loaded it in my truck, I'm afraid the 100+ miles of driving may have jarred something loose. Now, whenever I press the START button, the motor accelerates and reaches full RPM w/o any problems. But as soon as I release the button, it starts winding its way back down. So my first thought is it's a switch problem, but before I start fiddling with it, I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this? Thanks! Salvisa

Title says it all. Does anyone have specifics on where the needle should be in relation to the shuttle hook during operation? I can see where it's adjusted, just want to put it in factory specs. Manual doesn't address this specifically. Thanks so much! Bill

Ok, so now this! and I think this might have something to do with how I threaded the machine?? Maybe.. Anyway, so when I sew the stitches on top of the leather look like the stitches that should be on the back of the leather, and vice versa..So the nicer looking top stitches are actually on the flesh side of the leather.. I could always just sew on the flesh side, but that doesn't really solve the problem.. Also its having a tendency to break my thread as well.. What does everyone think?? Thanks Todd
