Joy's PF-5318 Walking Foot

[LumpenDoodle2]

Having a problem with one of my machine, which for some reason I cannot get my head round.   The small/inside presser foot will not rise.   I can lift it with the lever ok, but while sewing, it just sits there, so the stitch is tiny, as the material doesn't move properly.

Yesterday, I dismantled it to check the parts, and I can see wear on several pieces,but I seem to be having an extended brain burp, as I can't see how to fix it.

As I have said, I just cannot see how to fix it for some reason (my mind is obviously on higher things).

Any ideas/suggestions greatgully received.

Better post pictures of the machine. Is it a clone of a known brand machine?

It it apoears to be a clone of the Highlead GC-0318 (which is also a clone, I believe).   I have included a couple of pictures, which may (or may not) help.

The foot lift mechanism on your Lucy is similar to my Rex 11-155R. I made a short video showing how I equalize foot lift on my machine. Hopefully yours works in a similar way.

Many thanks, I shall try that later today.  

 I'm afraid I was having a neandertal day yesterday, with banging the rocks together being overtechnical.

Uwe, you are a star yet again!    The beast lives!
