Members pcox Posted January 5, 2014 Members Report Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) you can snug up the clutch action by removing the outer screws and tightening the inner screws a little at a time till you get the setting you want then replace the outer screws to lock the setting. If you tighten too much you will not have any safety clutch protection so go easy. I posted some pictures on your other thread, hope they help Use a padded vise grip to hold the lower shaft and see if you can turn the hand wheel. It should turn with some effort. You may need to spray the stitch adj. unit with some penetrating oil as it may be turning too hard. You always will have to readjust stitch length after you need to reset the clutch, but you should not have to re set the clutch after stitch length change. Edited January 5, 2014 by pcox Quote
Members pcox Posted January 5, 2014 Members Report Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) I just went and checked mine. I used a leather padded visegrip to hold the lower shaft and can turn the hand wheel with some effort. Adjust just enough to be able to change stitch length without tripping the clutch.

Members joeyrsmith Posted January 5, 2014 Author Members Report Posted January 5, 2014 Ok thx pcox That is what I was doing then. Tripping the clutch. Is the stitch adj unit in the front head part of the machine? I have no parts list or schematics. Which I think I will search now for. thx Joey Quote
