Seems I broke my Juki-LS-341, again... (Bobbin Shuttle)

[Yoshi888]

Finally had some time to properly check and fix everything.
I first readjusted the gear on the horizontal axis, but that did not seem to make too much of a difference.

Next, I checked where the play on the horizontal axis came from. So I removed the Belt cover and opened everything up.
I found that the bushing that keeps the axis in place (as shown in the screenshot) had come loose.
Resetting that part removed all the play in the axis and also stopped my machine from locking up!

So it seems I have found the culprit and fixed it!
The only remaining problem seems to be that while doing all that, I have changed my needle timing after all...
As seen in the video below. It seems in the end I will also have to learn how to adjust the needle timing.

At least once I learned that as well, I am confident I probably will not need a mechanic for my machine anytime in the near future, which is good as the next one is more than 200 km 😂

@AlZilla @friquantThank you so much for the help, I appreciate it a lot.
Do you also have any tips or resources for setting the needle timing :)?

Kind Regards 
Josh
