Please describe what you mean by a dry run.  Meaning without a hoop or garment 
- yes I know but is the thread in the thread path?  Are you turning off the 
thread break detection to do this?  I'm not sure of your experience level so I 
don't want to assume anything.

504-258-6260  ----- I am not up to speed on the technical terms of the machine, 
so I will try to explain it the best I can.  If I have hooped garment (or any 
cloth) on the machine, and "pretend" like I am sewing (everything hooped, 
except the needle is not threaded) everything is fine.  However, when I thread 
the needle, and start to sew, it makes a popping sound and it seems like 
something is hitting.  All of the needles (the little black levers at the 
top)move a little when sewing, and it sounds like this is where the noise is 
coming from.  It does not matter how high or low I have the presser foot.

I am not chaning any machine settings (other than acti-feed), and the hoop 
detection is turned on.  It doesn't matter what needle I am using, they all do 
the same thing.  The presser foot desn't look bent, and with my untrained eyes 
nothing seems to be out of place on the back of the needlecase - everything is 
still in the runners.

This is really frustrating, and I know it is probably nothing major, but until 
I diagnose it I am staying away from unsing this machine.  Thank goodness for a 
backup.

PS:  Sorry for nbot being able to explain it better.
