I have a 1924 singer treadle, and can't get it to stitch?

Sometimes the stitch catches but usually not: the needle is in the right way, it's oiled, so I think it's a tension problem, but I don;t know where to adjust except for the screw on the bobbin. Any suggestions please?
Thanks

If you have the needle in the correct way round and the correct style of needle, do you know the model number? it may be out of time but pretty unlikely on the old machines, e-mail me.
