Old dried up oil can lock the stitch length mechanism - applying heat to the stitch length bits under the bed can go a long way toward freeing it up.   Use a blow drier or other heat source until it’s too hot to hold with bare fingers - that point is about 140 degrees.

Thanks...I might have to try that....but first I have to fix the push button assembly

since I busted it tryin too force  the wheel too much.  Today...I went back to look at

the length regulator....loosened the 2 screws on the right hand gear and pushed

it round 1/2 turn....hoping to push myself from extreme small stitch to long stitch.

I then had to retime the hook/ bobbin assembly.....Chechaflo has a ( you tube video

on timing a 241-12 ) .....yes..it pushed me from small length stitch to long longest

length.....I can live with that.....it still may be jammed but if it is ...I will try your 

solution.

Thank you

If you’ve had it apart and oiled the moving parts that should take care of any stickiness from old oil.   Once it moves a little it’s fast to loosen up.

I really enjoy chechaflo’s upholstery videos.  His slow sewing style matches how my brain works, and his use of glue on almost everything has been an eye opener.

Yay ! for Chechaflo

I am now going to try finding a plunger for the old Singer 241-13.

I have tracked it to # 143207 

Do you have suggestions for where I can get one?

An industrial sewing shop is very good at tracking down parts of all kinds.   Give these guys a call.
