Some times in reverse the bobbin get tangle up. Would this be the tension on the bobbin

Is it the bobbin thread or the top thread that is getting tangled? Post a picture of the tangle to help us diagnose the possible cause.

Have a few question on the bobbin on the Juki 1341.
I can't get the thread to come up with the needle. 
With the bobbin out I can turn the wheel by hand in  forward direction and back, but with bobbin it will it will only go forward.

I'm just a novice myself but what you said above caught my eye...  As far as I know, you should never turn the wheel backwards.  Only forward.  Turning it backwards can cause lots of problems, including thread jams/nests.

Thanks I only do it at the start and end. I only been back stitching 2 threads and it seem to be working ok.

I think your right it's the top thread. Is this still a  tension problem?

[1960plumber]

Here is what it looks like. Then I break the top thread pull out a little of thread and I'm ready to go again.

Please confirm that to back stitch, you are actually turning the wheel in the opposite direction.  That's what I understand you to be doing from what you've written.  If that's really what you are doing, why are you not using the reverse lever?  The wheel should ONLY be turned in the normal (towards you) direction.  I hope I've misunderstood you.  (Don't forget that I'm a novice, much like you, so I may be way off.)

(This could also be what's causing your thread to tangle.)

Yes, I'm using my reverse lever.
