Bobbin Issue - Juki 1541S

[mikesc]

So, it was knowing exactly where to hit it, how hard to hit it, and with precisely the correct size hammer ;)

Hah I went to pick up my juki and also came home with a Consew cylinder arm..

I realize it was a few years ago, but "The pics above tell most of the story" doesn't help much. I am experiencing the same problem with a new 1541S. Nothing I have done - remove and clean hook, rethread, reneedle has worked the two fingers that fit in the slots don't reach far enough to hold the hook. Can anyone be more explicit about what the ultimate fix was? This shouldn't happen to a brand new machine.

The only finger that holds the hook basket in place is the upper one @ the top of the hook.When this type of machine gets thread jammed in the hook it makes it bind up & if the clutch doesn't kickout fast enough it gets forced out of the finger.Alot of times it bends the finger away from the slot & needs to be taken off & either replaced or re-bent so it can hold.

Yes its always good as you say to remove the bobbin case, and clean it out. 

That bobbin case holder; it has the finger on it. This may need reset from the bottom side with its screw. In some situations a different one can be obtained. One has to remember these holder/finger surfaces require care, and spacing. Some aftermarket special parts may have a bit different /finger. This could be discussed, I'm not familiar with aftermarket or custom  

Is there an engineers manual at your location, handy. An ops manual is also a benefit but some items are better illustrated in these others, including a parts book. 

Good day

See attached, this is a known issue on this model Juki DNU-1541S.

Two ways to fix this; heat the existing hook supporting plate red hot and hit it with a hammer to bend into place.  This part will break and not bend if you hit it without heating it.

Another is to get and modify say a Consew 206RB supporting plate, and use that one instead that can be 'adjusted' by bending it closer to and from the hook.

Thanks, Bob!  I think that things loosened up, in transit, and the T135 thread completely bound up and threw the timing out of whack.
