Pfaff 145

[Yvon]

Hi, I have a Pfaff 145, that I’m trying to reduce the clearance between the hook and the needle. Timing is ok, but the hook is too far away from the needle.

when I move the shuttle block towards the needle, it hits the hook washer, while the clearance is about .005”.

has anyone encountered this situation before, and what is the solution? Thank you

I'm not sure what you mean by hits the hook washer. Perhaps you can include some close-up photographs?

On my Jianglong 341 I had to slide the feed eccentric farther down the hook driving shaft before I could move the hook close enough to touch the needle.
