Mine Too! (Motor problem)
I didn't want to hijack someone else's thread, so I started another one. My Necchi's motor is sluggish like what Smokeythecat has. I have to lightly move the handwheel to get it moving. It runs fine until I stop, then I have to nudge the handwheel again when I start.
It also makes a high-pitched noise when it is running, even if I take the belt off so it has no stress from running the machine. It is quiet if it is on but idle. I'm not using it with the motor until I can find out why this is.
I know exactly -0- about electric motor cleaning and repair. I watched a video on the Tube, but it looked really complicated. And I admit I'm a little afraid to try with the Necchi because of the 2 speeds.
