It's ok. I am a tech and did the same thing other day. Emailed melco to ask a question and found out the answer was in the service notes :) DOH!

The places where the wheels make contact with the sockets they sit in. There should be some pictures/instructions of this in your users guide :) I would post them to the website but I don't have access to the users guide where I am right now. Be sure not to get any grease on the rubber roller itself or the surface of the pinch roller that contacts the rubber of the thread feed roller. Hope that makes sense :) John -----Original Message----- From: amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tom Ladow Sent: Friday, September 22, 2006 3:09 PM To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [amayausers] Re: THREAD THROWING OFF TO THE LEFT John; When you say grease the black hub, are you talking inside the hub, outside the hub or both?

Get some lightly soapy water - and clean them off including any remnant grease. Repeat if necessary till all the grime is off. Then rinse with water very well. Dry with a soft cloth. Then regrease both items appropriately and put them back on the machine. Should work. If it doesn't - replace one or both.

This is new kink for me but has virtually rendered this needle position useless. Any ideas on how to fix this problem, I sure would appreciate it. Tom L.
