Here is an illustration from the 45k which uses the same type of shuttle.... just double click to see it closer.

I may have to try it the way shown in these two pictures, I have had no problems so far.

I sometimes thread my CB4500 bobbins clockwise for springy, or extra thick thread. It feeds through the tension channel easier that way.

Looks like we need a decibel meter for this one.

Jokes aside, the machine sounds great.

One  other thing I have learnt about that ' clacking' sound ' , is when the  very tip of the needle is just the slightest bit blunt, perhaps after hitting.... something , is  that it does make  that ' clacking ' sound'..... and makes me sweat a bit. Put a new needle in, and its all sweet.  

I wouldn't have thought that such a big  heavy machine would be affected by a little blunt needle, but there you go  :)

If you think the needle is hitting something, take off the needle plate and turn the machine over by hand and watch your needle.

You will also be able to check the timing while you do it.

It takes a fair bit of sewing to blunt my needles, so just check the path of travel of the needle.
