Members JeannieH Posted February 24, 2020 Members Report Posted February 24, 2020 Hi. I have a Zoje 2628 binding machine. I looked at the manual and it says to fill oil up to the first red line. It shows a screw I’m assuming is under the machine? the machine is just sitting on two bars that are bolted down. It doesn’t have a hinge where I can lean it back. Will I be fine just putting oil in the holes marked red....or do I need to get the oil filled up in this reservoir like the manual says? Quote
Members Bert51 Posted February 25, 2020 Members Report Posted February 25, 2020 It appears your RED line have turned, if you can see oil in the window about the same distance as the first Red line all should be good. I cannot see any oil in the window or is it just the photo? Bert. Quote
Members Constabulary Posted February 25, 2020 Members Report Posted February 25, 2020 This machine seems to be not wide spread here. Looks like it is designed as high speed binding machine. Leather work usually is NOT high speed sewing. I think I would fill up the reservoir as stated in the manual. You probably have to remove the head from the reservoir to fill it up. However I´m not sure if the oil pump will distribute enough oil when sewing short seems at low speed. Usually the oil pumps need a certain sewing speed. If it was my machine I would not rely on the oil pump system (Manual also does not say where the oil goes to and if certain areas require manual oiling) I don´t know the technical details of the 2628. Not sure if and where it has oil holes but I would oil it manually.

Members JeannieH Posted February 25, 2020 Author Members Report Posted February 25, 2020 I also have one more little thing bothering me lol. My consew 227r2 is fairly new. I remember when I first got it it ran quieter..like a smoother sound. I’m just getting back to using it and it doesn’t sound the same. I know it’s hard to help with this if you aren’t in person, but to you guys does it sound like something isn’t right? Quote
Members Constabulary Posted February 25, 2020 Members Report Posted February 25, 2020 reg. Video - seems you are using the a wrong size bobbin in this machine. I think that's where the "rattly ringing" sound comes from.

Members Constabulary Posted February 25, 2020 Members Report Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Bobbins should be standard Singer bobbins of ~ 22mm diameter and ~10.3mm height - they fit for a lot of machines. Parts # is 203470 Edited February 25, 2020 by Constabulary Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2
Members JeannieH Posted February 25, 2020 Author Members Report Posted February 25, 2020 I put a bigger bobbin in and it still made the sound. Here is a video with it out. Should the bobbin assembly/holder be this loose? I know I’m not crazy. I don’t remember it sounding like this. I did have a homemade speed reduced on it for a while. But, I do t see that causing any problems. Right now just the one belt is on it. Quote
