The white motors are different from the black ones. They are a more powerful motor. We just talked with a SMG yesterday and he has been working on Singers for over 50 years. He gave DH a ton of info. which was very helpful since he has a lot of machines waiting for him when the weather gets warmer.
:mrgreen:
How interesting, because my older, black 222 stitches faster, and seems less laboured than my younger white 221. Is there anything I can do to improve it?
Look at the amps on the two motors and see if they are different. If the white one has a .4amp it has a black motor painted. Other wise the motor just might need a good cleaning. This old gentleman I talk to worked for Singer in England for many years. He is a book of information. Hope this helps. We had a motor that was sluggesh and our DS took it to work and cleaned it and now it would run a sawmill.
