Hello, Rod or Sharon has just posted in the Machines & Hardware forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of Clicking noise when needlecase moves..... This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5544-Clicking-noise-when-needlecase-moves Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** You should lift the pinch roller on that needle, remove the face plate over the inner threadfeed roller and then remove the threadfeed roller. Check for thread buildup down inside of the roller pocket. Clean the pocket area and re-lubricate the hubs....it could be it is just a lubrication issue and the roller is dragging. The inner threadfeed drive gear in this pocket may be broken, so check to see if it turns true on the shaft and does not wobble side to side as it rotates...you can do this manually if it is selected as the active needle or depressing and holding in the little red locking tab on the reverse side of the needlecase. You also need to check the condition of the main threadfeed drive gear, located inside of the right clam shell pod behind the needlecase to see if it is in good condition and not fractured around its hub area.
