I just got this juki 1541

i oiled it up and when i use the knee lift it makes sound that doesn’t sound right 

it also makes that sound when sewing 

it’s almost as if the motor sometimes stops becuase something is obstructing 

is this normal

Definitely not right.

Couple of suggestions:

i) Remove the belt from the motor and remove the knee lift. Then hand-wheel it. If the noise is eliminated the drive belt was installed to tightly and or the knee lift installed incorrectly.

ii) Re-oil the machine putting oil directly into the bearings and any place the metal touches. When oiling like a bearing move the hand-wheel so that you turn the part you are oiling a quarter turn and re-oil until you make a complete revolution.

iii) Check for signs of rubbing of metal parts.

iv) I would use synthetic transmission oil around the bearings as it will get into the bearing and provide better lubrication then sewing machine oil.

v) Was this machine store for a long time or dropped??

i removed some parts to be able to identify the problem 

I don’t know if it was dropped and was def sitting for a while

I oiled it up disconnected belt and it still gets kinda “stuck”

When the hand lift is up the wheel moves smoother 

but when lift is down it makes continues to make sound

Have you tried playing with the foot lift height. I mean how high the feet raise when sewing? Just a guess...

See page 36 in the manual
