Timing
Hopefully someone out there has had this problem and can help me. I know the timing is off on my Kenmore Model 117-959, but I can’t figure out how to adjust and nothing I’ve found online pertains to my machine. Help please!!

There are a few timing settings. Which are you needing help with?
#1 Feed Dogs
#2 Loop Lift
#3 Needle/Hook Distance
#4 Thread Passage
There's a "Vintage Kenmore" group that you could join. With lots of knowledgeable people and a great assortment of service manuals.

Usually on a vintage Kenmore there's a screw at the top of the needle bar, that needs to be loosened. The screw holds a small shaft in place. When it's loose, you can move the needle bar forward and backwards.
I have a model 117 somewhere.... but I can't find it.
