Default Re: Singer sewing machine sticky pedal

I found that I had to fiddle with the screw in picture 4 for quite some time until I found a sweet spot where I could have a slow start. It's still not perfect but you can get good control. I never cleaned the discs though (but I think I should).

One thing I failed to mention is be aware that some, not all of the older pedals have aspestos washers on the base attaching to the ceramic (though your hubby probably would have noticed with his experience). Mine does unfortunately, so I decided never to take the ceramic portion off the base as the two washers are covered in dust and are undisturbed and I would like them to stay that way...
