So my Ferdco (juki clone) is normally kept at number 8 (I know this doesnt indicate stitch length), but it will no longer hold in reverse while stitching. It will drop back down to forward within a half revolution of the needle. It's looseness is evident when running forward at full speed with the lever slightly moving with each complete revolution of the needle. 

I was looking for a means to tighten it. The only place I see to potentially tighten nuts down is an access panel located directly behind the lever, however the wrenches included wont fit into such a confined space. Am I correct in looking to tighten the two nuts directly attached to the stitch length lever? I would much rather ask than trying to foolishly come up with a plan for a close quarter or offset wrench to tighten down on something. Your insight would be much appreciated. If more info is required I will gladly snap a few pictures. Thank you!

Look for this screw behind the back cover & tighten it just alittle.

VERY much appreciated. I tried tightening at first and it seem snug already. Put a little more elbow grease on it and it's nice and smooth with lever placement. Thank you!
