Help me, help me, with a 306k
Hi everyone from cold, cold middle TN....I am keeping myself warm by piddling in my sewing room with a newly acquired Singer 306k, Mocha, and beautiful, with all kinds of extra stuff included (except bobbins). I have had it sitting out in my sewing room, which is kept warm because of my Gammill, and right now crowded with all kinds of machines that need a little TLC until I make myself get started on another quilt.
This one runs sluggish (maybe because it was cold), and the motor kinda lights up from the side view and goes zzztzzztzzzzzt when I put my foot on the pedal. Needless to say I have not tried to open it up and run it hard with that facing me. It has a square type belt that seems tight enough, and I tried adjusting the motor a little, but am afraid to go too far with that before I work out the noisiness. The machine seemed to be well oiled and is clean so far as I can see. Any suggestions from the peanut gallery????? Please, anything.
