Here is the message that has just been posted:

My Amaya just started making a rattle noise occasionally when the hoop is
moving. It's not constant, nor is it on a particular needle and honestly I'm
not sure exactly where it's coming from. My first thought is that something
needs to be lubricated. I'm very consistent in lubricating the rotary hook,
the reciprocator guide and the the upper and lower needle bars. Beyond that,
I'm clueless. I don't use my machine consistently, I do watch the timers and
they are haven't "timed out" yet. I do have an annual checkup done by a Melco
tech. I've read and printed the lubrication section of the manual and am going
thru it step by step.
I have a question about the Upper V rail. Does it get oiled or not? On one
page it says one drop on one side, one on the other moving the needle back and
forth, however on that same page under step 2 is reads:* IMPORTANT: Make sure
there is no oil or grease is applied to the upper v-rail.* (This sentence
makes no sense to me and it's grammatically incorrect. So, Do I or Don't I
oil the upper V rail?
I don't think this has anything to do with the rattle I hear, but since I'm
already confused I thought I'd go ahead and ask.
Lastly, if anyone can give me a clue about the occasional rattle when the hoop
is moving
Thanks, T ; )
