3. Hand wheel is a bit tight even after oiling.
Does any one know or have any suggestions on these issues. I'm looking forward to your responses.
Thank you in advance,
Riccar Owner
I've owned a Riccar 808E for several years, unfortunately it also only sews in reverse. I put it on my do-it-later shelf with plans to again try and repair the reverse problem. I have a Singer 15-91 and 66 on my work bench now so I won't look at the Riccar until I finish those. Let me know if you receive any solutions in the meantime.
