Joe, I am wondering now if it is just the nature of the beast. Does anyone have a Dressmaker like this one? [ATTACH=CONFIG]377006[/ATTACH] The machine runs along just fine and even without a special cam in it, it slows down a little and then continues to run for a bit and then slows down as if it was straining. It seems like it is in a rhythm. Do they all do that? Also Joe, does the black, built in cam stop moving at all? ~G~

I checked my Dressmaker 7000 yesterday. The gears are in good shape and undamaged. I ran it for quite a while but could not figure out why it surges when a cam is in. I compared my machine to the pics you sent me and they are the same. I even took the spring off the cam follower and used my finger to push the follower to the cam. It still surged.
So I put a stronger motor on it. No difference.
I am officially stumped on this one. Looks like it just might have to go to the LSMG.
Joe
