Help! I'm reaching the end of my tether!

Now you will need to compare this with yours Arwel and see what is different. If the screw is broken on the outer cam, i usually get them out by drilling a smaller hole in the middle and then hammer a flat head screwdriver in the hole and turn with that. The other way is screw extractors. You have to be careful when drilling, it can wander off sometimes and ruin the outer thread.In the picture the foot is leaning back (furthest back position).

And here is the position of the shuttle carrier at the same moment.

 Your shuttle carrier should be in time with your foot when it is at the furthest back position? so what is your needle bar position when this is happening Arwel??

If the cam is out 180 degrees, the person that fiddled with it paid no attention to the tapered pin, just lined up the holes and drove the pin in.  Still it has to be driven out by driving on the small end.  Usually, one solid whack will start it moving.  People have been known to drill out tapered pins too!  Then anything can happen!  You can obtain tapered drills to fix it if there is enough meat left to work with.

 well spotted Carlos, but it has a washer, works the same,it is only to keep the two disks level. Thanks for the offer anyway.

Here is a video of the timing for your 29k Arwel, can someone check to see if the video works as i am a bit of a caveman when it comes to uploading videos!
