Default Longarm Timing issue need a little help

Okay, so in June we moved and I took my longarm down for about 2 months. Hubby put it up and I got a quilt loaded and everything seemed fine. I was quilting the last block on the last row of quilt and CRASH. My machine made horrible noise then part of needle went flying and then the machine was just stuck. Somehow the needle, well part of the needle, wrapped itself around the bobbin. Hubby got the needle out and then the timing seemed off so he started messing with that and now the timing seems great, the tension is great but when I go to do a swirl the thread breaks. I can stitch in a straight line and do a little stippling but a swirl means break. Husband is extremely handy when it comes to fixing stuff so I thought I would check with the experts here before I brought it to shop to wait up to 8 weeks to hear what's wrong. With Christmas coming I really want my longarm working proper....lots of gifts to get done.

I have a Tin Lizzy 18

Thanks for reading and any advice will be appreciated
