On this simpler NH stitch lever you can see the R for the bottom half. F is for the top half.

Thanks Leon. I’m going to see if I swapped the motor leads to the brushes. The drive knob is going clockwise, making the hand wheel go counter clockwise. I thought that was how all machine were, but apparently Free Westinghouse and White machines spin the other way. Learn something new all the time

I am still thinking you issue is in the stitchlength area/ Have you checked further?

I took the motor apart swapped the wires to the brass tubes that hold the brushes. It works now. Hand wheel runs clockwise, not like my other machines. Thanks!

Great. Glad it and you are smiling now.

you need yo have the rubber pulley off the machine.
when the spring is engaged in the motor and it is properly attached to the back of the machine hold it down against the spring tension and reinstall your pulley so it touches your hand wheel. The spring keeps it engaged against the wheel with enough tension to make the pulley spin and turn your wheel. Hope this helps you.
