How do you adjust the walking motion of the feed dogs, I’m adjusting the stitch length but it’s not doing much

I split your post off of an old thread.  Better to start a new thread than to tag onto an old thread with a different topic.

Do I get you right, you cannot adjust the stitch length, right? Or does the feed do not come high enough out of the needle plate?

Please post pictures of your machine.

If the 51W55 is similar to my 51W56 you need to be sure that the stitch length adjuster pin at the fly wheel is properly engaged in the drive shaft "thread". The adjuster needs to move in and out. If the flywheel isn't set far enough on the drive shaft (towards the needle) it can prevent proper engagement. The pin in the selector may also be broken or missing...
 

Also there are two rods at the bottom of the machine, I believe that the one towards the rear of the machine controls the stitch length actuation.
