joeyrsmith Report post Posted June 1, 2014 Hi Gang, Been a little while, machine has been doing great all this time. Until today. Started to skip stitchs, upon inspection it looks like the timing is off a little. Got the manual out, and decided that I need to advance a little. When I loosen the set screws on (4) then try to tap gear left or right as per the manual, it does not seem to work right. I am guessing that the gear should spin on the shaft, it seems to move the shaft which in turn moves the needle bar. So, is it stuck? I nver have tried this procedure before. Only moving the whole hook/bobbin left or right to get it set to the right needle distance. Here is a schematic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SARK9 Report post Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) I don't think the gear should "spin" on the shaft....it probably has a groove that engages one of the set screws. What you want it to do is slide *along* the shaft, so that it "climbs" or descends the bevel gear it is in mesh with; The contact point in the mesh is what will move to advance or retard the actual timing. Be sure to consult the manual for prior settings you may need to make such as needle bar lift or a certain stitch length setting. -DC Edited June 1, 2014 by SARK9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
