Thank you.  @Jhunter13 walked me through this when I was at the sellers property.  It is belt drive.  I can see the cutout.  I line it up with the disk, but it doesn’t appear to catch.  I tried holding a screw driver on the disk and was able to turn the hand wheel, so it appears it is not stuck.   I just can’t get the stitch length button to catch the indent.  Looking at it, from a weird angle, it appears to not be centered in the cutout.  Maybe it could also be the button was ground down from improper use?  
 

How would you remove and re-install the stitch length button?  And if it is not the button being too short, can you recommend how I would adjust the “left/right” of the disk so the button is in line with it?

 

much appreciated,

Looks to me like you need to loosen the 2-screws that hold the stitch length cam to the shaft & only turn them 1/4 turn(because one of them goes into a slot on the shaft) & then tap on it to slide it to the left so it lines up.

Thank you.  I am going to look into that.  I am reading the manuals now.
