Rain has a lot of good info on his blog about the Singer 15s which should also apply to clones:

I think I have only had one clone that couldn't free up. It was because the needle bar shafts did not line up right. Since they were slightly off the needle bar would go in the shafts but would bind. No amount of cleaning and oiling would fix that. I've gotten real good at rebuilding 15 clone tensions. I did learn the hard way to buy the right take up spring.

It has been a long time ago since that machine crossed my path.
