Members leecopp Posted May 19, 2018 Members Report Posted May 19, 2018 From the chapter where no good deed goes unpunished... Trying to help a neighbor get his 111w153 working again. It has a sketchy past, unknown when it sewed last , sister tried to adjust the bobbin tension, presented with a broken timing belt. So far... 1. Replaced timing belt. went surprisingly easy! Arrows are lined up. 2. Unfroze the stitch length eccentric and the push button 3 Re timed the hook. It was striking the needle solidly .. wow . Needle timing was ok. 4. balanced out the walking foot. >> So now things are sewing fairly well except. The Presser Foot Lifter doesnt have any effect until the needle is mostly out of the fabric. I would expect to be able to leave the needle buried and lift the lever and have the feet clear to about 1/4". Any suggestions for next steps? Lee in Florida where it is getting warm and humid! Oh, and thanks Uwe for the great hook timing video. Quote
