Tension is out of whack after we rewired the machine. Any ideas?

What do you mean out of whack? Is the post bent, is the check spring missing or in the wrong position? Are you threading while the presser foot is up? Are you adjusting the tension when the presser foot is down? Is it crooked, so that you can not turn it?

I would also suggest making sure that the threading for both needle and bobbin are correct and going through all guides and springs. Another possibility is the pressure on the presser foot.

(Those are the page numbers for the PDF) That manual has a section on the parts and adjusting the tension assembly. I'm

Rare to find timisng issues on those. yea. Follow the tread path.

Rewiring shouldn't impact tension. More likely, the thread path needs checking. If thread pulls out freely, I would check to be sure the foot is up when threading, and that the thread is seated between the tension discs.
