Singer 47w66 sewing backwards after new hook installed

[mamasew]

Hi,

      I replaced the hook assembly on my cylinder arm machine and set the timing. I started to sew and the machine will only sew backwards. What did I do wrong?

Please help.

thank you

One of 2 things you might have loosened the feed cam just to the left of the hook gear on the lower shaft or you took the timing belt off &  didn't get it back on correctly

Or... ? you hit the button sequence to, ' run Reverse direction'  in your Servo Drive .

What Cylinder bed machine model, are you talking about ? . I not familiar with that model  .. Is your Reverse lever in the UP position  ?

Good point about the motor that's probably what happened

I didn't think about that,but this model doesn't have reverse

Hi,

 Thank you for your replies. My machine is a Singer cylinder arm machine 47w66 model # EW047696. Also, this machine is not a walking foot machine. You are right; this machine does not have reverse. I have not removed the timing belt. When I turn the handwheel (with the motor off) the machine feeds the fabric in the reverse direction. How do I adjust the feed cam to make the machine sew forward?

Also, is the upper shaft ( the one above the hook driving shaft) is that supposed to move?

Thank you all for your help.

Thank you so much! I did loosen the feed cam by mistake.  I did not remove the timing belt. My adjusters manual does not explain how to time the feed cam. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. 

Thank you,

Loosen the set screw & spin it the cam 180' so the screw is on the opposite side from where,it should go in a groove on the shaft.

Thank you so much!  I did what you suggested but it did not fix the issue.I have found the problem. There is a small section of large threads on the arm shaft that has broken off preventing the spindle head from catching. I have had no luck finding a replacement arm shaft. Any ideas?

Those shafts are real hard to change,it would be easier to turn the adjuster screw all the way in & use the screws on page # 11 of this manual to change the stitch length.111w101 (1).pdf

[CowboyBob]

Here's a file with a better explanation of how to adjust it by using the screws.Showing that you have to remove screw BB to turn CC to change the length & clockwise will make it longer ,after adjusting be sure to put screw CC back in there to lock it so it doesn't move.

Have a great day.
