adjusting timing of hook on Pfaff 130

[Joa]

Just bought a Pfaff 130 and would like to adjust the timing of the
hook myself (yaa yaa, I know, bring it in to a shop, but that's just
not me- I try to always learn about the stuff I own and work on it
myself whenever possible).

There are good instructions in the manual but I don't quite know some
of the parts they are referring to and really hoping someone here can
help.

On P 16 of the manual it shows a picture of the bobbin area and has
letters (from top to bottom) of AKBPFNQS. Anybody help me know what
each of these is by chance? How about the locations of the "hook",
"base stop", and "hook shaft"?

Thanks a bunch!

Just curious, why do you want to mess with the timing? Is the machine doing
or not doing something?

Just want to make sure it's right. The machine skips a little on zig
zag and I also can hear the needle "click" occassionally.

Have you changed the needle? It's more likely that a dull or slightly
bent needle is causing the symptoms than that the timing is off.

I second that.

Now for the timing, when the needle has risen 2 mm from bottom dead center
the point of the hook must be central to the needle and just above the eye.

Brand new needle and everything is clean. Only skips on the wide zig
zig too which someone told me is what happens when the timing is off.

Well now you know how to check it. Most technicians use gauges to make it
perfect. Your might invest in complete service at a reputable repair center
near you.

Isn't timing a fairly rare problem? Except for people who
are really rough with their machines?

Isn't it great to have Ron here to give advice like the
above?

I suspect the problem with my Thompson mini-walking foot
might be timing - everything seems to work fine, but it
does not pick up the bobbin thread. One of these days,
I'll set it up and try to watch it go through the paces.
Check the needle, and do the things I should before
thinking about timing. The only reason I suspect timing
is that there is a receipt in the case for resetting the
timing that is only a few years old. Maybe these machines
get out of whack easily?

I see a lot of machines with timing problems. With some of them,
it seems they have a mind of their own. It's almost like I can
set the timing and do a test that checks out OK, but, after I
put the cover back on, the timing's out again!

Then you did not do your job completely. It is not enough to re-time a
machine, you need to find out why it is out of time in the first place.

this sounds like a loose/stretched cog belt that is slipping
a tooth under torque, could drive you crazy. --Loren

Very well could be, that is quite common on the Singer 750 series machines.

I have done quite a few of these Pfaff 130 machines. Y ou do not need any fancy tools to set the timing. You should have a Service Manual for it if you plan on servicing it yourself. They are very hard to find, but, if you go to youtube.com & enter in PHAFF 130 Needle bar adjustment & Vince Acuri it will bring up his little tutorial of how to set the timing & needle bar adjustment. You really need to check Needle bar height & square the needle stop notch to the front edge of the machine bed, must be perfect per Service Manual, before you time it. Vince has a service manual that you can read on the video. I've done a few & is not a hard job just tedious & time consuming. These are the best machines ever made, in my opinion. I've done a lot of auto upholstery, boat covers, etc. with mine & it still runs like new. good luck.
