Default Singer 401 pulls to left

Piecing on this machine is difficult. It's hard to keep a scant 1/4 inch seam as it pulls to the left. I just lived with it until I started using my 301 for piecing, and it doesn't do that. Is it the nature of the beast or does it need some adjustments? This is the machine I bought at auction several years ago that was totally frozen up. It took a long time to get it all freed up.

I do have another 401 that I have never used. I'm wondering it it would be worth the effort to see if it does the same thing, as I'm getting rid of the left overs from my sewing machine hobby. The only spare I'm keeping is my old Touch and Sew, which does a stretch stitch. (Of course, I'm keeping a 401, 301, 15-91 and 201.)
