Abby,
Are you using new bobbins? I was having problems with the bobbins I bought at Joann's, some of the bobbins were
not made quite right. I found that original vintage bobbins seemed to work just fine in my Singer 201k treadle.

The bobbin sounds like the thread is not seating in the bobbin case tension spring try to reinstall the bobbin and route the thread correctly and you should be good.

Thanks Billy
I dont know what the issue was with the belt. I put the new treadle head on the base (same belt) and it works fine.
The bobbin is inserted and drawn through right. It just gets stuck not always but enough to make it a pain.
I will probably have to dissect it someday and figure it out.
Maybe I will take a pic and diagram it to show you. I am horrible at explaining
