Members councilman24 Posted 2 hours ago Members Report Posted 2 hours ago I was trying to get a parachute harness job done last night. I went to rethread the machine and like the forgetful old man I am I forgot to thread through the hidden take up lever. Yes I know, but I haven't had it long, it was 3 am and I'm forgetful. I actually teach new riggers how to sew so yes I no better. So, or course a bunch of thread got bound up around the hook and bobbin. I cut the work loose, opened up the cover, pulled out the loose thread. Hand wheeled around and the needle was hitting part of the hook. I was confused and pulled door assembly off and pulled hook out. Of COURSE, I forgot to tighten the inner race spring lock. By the time I remembered about the lock I had managed to pull the inner race out from behind the hmm, hook driver? What ever that part is called. And now I can't get it back behind to lock it back in place. I did manage to find the one spring that fell out. Any help on how to get the inner race back there without complete disassembly? I got it out but I've tried an hour to get it back. Also it seems like the timing is off a lot, like 180 degrees. Do the two halves of the drive shaft under the clamping rings slip around one inside the other? The timing instructions in English are poorly translated and confusing. Given that I have to retime the bottom anyway maybe releasing the clamp rings and what ever I have to do to get the driver out won't be much more. Any videos on timing hook? Couldn't fine any from Uwe or anyone else. Help? Photos in a few minutes. Terry Quote
