Once I got everything cleaned up and put back together I noticed that it struggled to do a full cycle, needle up - down - and back up. But there was resistance when the needle bar moves down but not back up again when hand cranking. But no issue with the bobbin winder. So I knew the motor was solid. Not sure if the machines supposed to have a little resistance when the bars moving down or if that's just my machine.

I'm a fan of kerosene.
In my manual for my Singer 15, Singer recommends kerosene to free up a machine that's working heavily. My 319 manual says the same thing. I have to check but I'm pretty sure that my 128 manual also says to use kerosene.

I do want to keep it cleaned, probably annually, and work off old oil and grease etc.
