... Is the stitch selector still stuck, too?
The stitch selector is good. All parts are moving well--I thought. When I got it, it was heavily gunked up and the motor was slow and un-even. After cleaning it is a lot faster but not full speed and I can still hear the un-evenness. When I undo the clutch wheel the motor is fast and even.
When I cleaned the machine I took apart the hand wheel. Now it feels a bit sloppy, so I am going to check that I got the spring back in right and want to add the grease back to see if that helps. I'll also have to go over the whole machine again to try and find the stiff points.
When I grease in the hand wheel should it just go on the flat side of the fiber gear?
