okay that seems to be the safest bet. It’s so frustrating trying to find out all this info. And I’m terrified I’ll ruin the machine and waste all this money repairing it.
Next question is about WICKS. Are there supposed to be wicks in the grease cups. I’ve never seen anyone take them out of the grease cups in videos so I assumed there were none there. But that could just be because my machine didn’t come with wicks in the grease cups.
I did notice a wick in the needle bar. So I want to replace that. Just to be OCD.
