Consew 227R Cylinder Arm

[piera]

So I bought this cylinder arm machine.

It worked fine at the dealer for sewing and picking up thread. I re-threaded it now to the thread color i needed. Filled the bobbin and it won't pick up the bobbin thread.

Bobbin spins fine. No thread stuck in there. Put brand new needle.

 

So after unsuccessfully getting my bobbin to pick up the thread. I put back the one that the dealer had and that was working.. Still won't pick up thread.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong

It looks like your head is threaded wrong, check out your shiny round thing with the fine loop spring, my guess is that your thread is on the inboard side of the thread path.

well now it doesn't move at all i think the the hook timing thing is causing problems.. not even sure anymore with this machine.. I am so annoyed with it.

[Sunnyside Scott]

Take your bobbin out to verify that you don't have a piece of thread stick in that area.

No thread is in there, or that i could see.

I made quick video too

As Scott was saying, do you have the thread coming from the tension discs Through the fine wire spring now? In the photo you missed putting the thread through there.

[piera]

I do have it going through the tension discs and down through the stitch regulator (if that's what its called the one under the tension disc)

The tab above the red square should rotate down by hand and fit into a corresponding notch in the needle plate when you put it back together. Also, do you have the long groove in the needle to the left?

[piera]

Yep curve part faces right and the long straight part left.. and thread from left to right.. but nothing is  moving.. the thread separate bracket is not letting anything spin in the bobbin area

i actually now see the piece of white thread
