1541S Basket & Opener Adj.

[brmax]

Hey all of you, I could use your help to better understand the " Opener timing and Adjustment".

I will take the here's your sign when needed, though its tough moving ahead is better.

What I have here is a Juki dnu 1541S. This I picked up used and having a semi permanent binder and raised throat plate that I have removed and reinstalled an oem plate and feed dog for operations needed now.

In checking timing and bar specs they are not in standard, slightly out so I have since worked through these, its my new to me side loader so some things to learn.

Working with the Engineers Manual I'm stuck with this step (5) Adjusting the Opener: The steps A, B are a bit clear yet the C is just not, or I'm not pickin up what there putting down.

Can ya help out? Thanks

I am also interested in some other clearance spec if any with the "tab" on the position finger that sets in the slot and positions the basket, say parallel with shaft. This information I am curious for because sanding the hook marks from previous looks to be slip outs has me interested, and doing a few searches promotes this info. also.

At this time I have about .040" in hook tab clearance and .035" hook to positioner and on the other side of positioner to feed dog side having .023", now removing this positioner to check and to press old bends out of the shim piece I noticed it sits in a recessed casting slot and its not a made to adjust type part or slot.

Thanks for your ideas, tips and any "signs" ; )

Good Day

See attached, this explains this better, but for a Consew 206RB style machine. Adjustment is the same, hope this helps.
