Yep, it makes sense. So the thing is, while trying to clean the machine I broke some timing drive (I think, or) and had someone else fixing it. I suspect the person also sanded the pulley and the handwheel and did not clean any of the mess. The machine is working (again), but I don’t wanna mess up more with it before someone I trust checks the machine for me. I’m in Finland and don’t speak Finnish well enough to discuss machine mechanics plus it’s been hard to find someone that agrees to look at the machine. The saga goes on and on. It’s like getting one thing fixed while two others brake.
The plan is to get Archaic Arcane’s pulley kit and install it once the rest of the machine is eventually nicely cleaned.
