hi got timing instructions from original service manual for this machine bevel gear apperas to be okay it started sewing but made a grinding noise and then jumped out of sync again think i am going to give up on this as i have just been given a old toyota 2202 will try to get this working instead as not much wrong with that
thanks anyway

Hello Sue,
You donn.t have to dismantle anything to look at the bevel gear, take the top off the machine and you will see the cream nylon gear, turn the balance wheel towards you and look at the gear and see if there are any broken teeth, did you get the timing instructions from me? if you did not then type my email address as you say it not as you see it and let me know how you get on
