Adler 169-373 feed timing issues

Recommended Posts

I recently acquired an Adler 169-373 cylinder arm machine. It had many issues ( you get what you pay for, right?!).

I have taken care of most of them, however, the one I cannot figure out is, the feed timing issue. The needle and inside foot as well as lower feed dog all start moving back ( toward operator) before the needle has cleared the work. This is completely wrong for a compound feed machine. I have never had this issue and don't know what to adjust. No manual I have found has dealt with this adjustment. Any help out there?

 

Current collection of machines- Adler169-373, Adler 67GK373 (2), Adler 205-64, Consew 225, Consew 225RB-3,Singer 153W103, Singer286G132, Singer111W154, Singer 29K60, Adler 30-70, USMC Model C clicker, Randall NSB Edge Beveler.

Do you have a service manual?
In my experience, it's best to do all the settings in the order described if you really want the machine adjusted properly

I have not been able to find a service manual that goes into this much detail.
