Default featherweight help

my featherweight is making a noise when you first start up the smooths out. i oiled her and greased the motor.
greasing the motor helped a bit. what do i try next?

Do you need a new belt? When was the last time it got a really good cleaning?

Did you get the grease pots really full? Did you check the bobbin case for lint?
