{Solved} Pfaff 545 stitch length problem, can’t get a max stitch length. What could it be?

Wow... I for one just got an education about my machine. Time to go tune it instead of throw it off a cliff. I'm certain the timing eccentric is one of my issues.

Thanks for all this information about the 545.  Mine is minus the "P" and has no vertical movement but I didn't even notice until recently.  I've owned the machine for nearly 15 years and used it to sew just about everything from jeans to heavy leather.  I've gotten quite an education from this post.
