if it runs 277 on top slowly I'll be more than very happy, but if I get stopped at 207 I'll be satisfied.

If I keep it I'm gonna need a servo motor

I was hesitant so did not want to offer thought, so now say just a few places this may be of concern and will mention top down. The feed dog hole maybe a bit small, yet with very slow "hand wheel" it may work.  277 is like .023" + needle. So keep the post so to hear the rest of the saga on this.

Br max, I agree 277 is reaching for the moon. I can use it to saddle stitch up some holsters , or something else. But I'm going give it a try

I want everyone on the forum to know you all have saved me from many hours of frustration. I wouldn't have gotten this far on my own.

Thank You!

I recommend using either a #24 or #25 leather point needle to sew with #277 thread.

Thanks Wiz, I got a few of those #24 with the machine, and I think I ordered a few #23 & #25's

I sometimes use a #23 needle with #207 on top and 138 in the bobbin. But, I always use a #24 if I have 207 top and bottom.

Today after work. I bought a smaller pulley and belt, and Cleaned up the clutch like Toledo Bob had suggested. Now,  I can go slower than 120 spm.

While I was at it I noticed the oil level wasn't going down at all.

That's when I realized I had a problem.

It was plugged where I'm pointing.

I replaced this line from a valve to the port going to the ring gear under the bobbin assembly. Sorry if  I don't know what to call all the parts

Question ? How do I know when there's enough oil going from the check valve to the gears?

And I used vinyl tubing. So, will that work?

Apologies to Cowboy Bob for Toledo bob. I was born in Toledo, Ohio actually
