Maybe I Can Help Someone - Boss

[Troy Burch]

I've had my Boss for about eight years and it's been one problem after another and nothing I tried fixed it. Today I decided to take it apart and go through it one last time before i threw it in the trash. The problem turned out be be an easy fix. After all this time it was the arm bracket thread roller take up on the needle bar shaft. It came from the factory not quite in the right position, it was stopping the handle from making a complete cycle, It wasn't off much but just enough. After adjusting it I checked it on scrap then sewed an entire belt (for the first time with no problems) and it's working great. When the handle goes to the top it makes a much different sound now kinda sharper and more solid click. The people on this site have helped me so much I thought I'd post this and maybe help someone else. I sewed 2 pieces of leather one 8oz and one 5oz and when I ran off the 8 onto just the 5 it didn't even miss a stitch. Troy

Thanks for the info Troy. You never know when something like that will be useful for somebody else. I see Boss issues arise from time to time here.
