Cv?

Just spent a few mins driving more.

It does happen in neutral and when stopped when I rev to about 2500-3000rpm. In lower gears it happens more between 2000-3000.

Above 3k I don't notice it.

Usually I shift around that range... could it be transmission related?

Car sounds fine if just idling and it's pulling and stuff fine while accelerating.

Suddenly this afternoon I became a sewing machine restorer. My wife couldn't not get this from an elderly lady who put this out front for free. It didn't spin.

5 minutes with 5 in 1 oil and got it going.

1942.

My wife is super exited. Hope I can time it.

Should clean out all the old oil before the varnish sets up again. Might as well if you're already re-timing it.

There is no old oil. Just joints that need regular oil in the main shaft. Many joints were seized. Sprayed with brake cleaner and oil, then oil 10 more times spinning. Motor runs well. Going to put it back in tomorrow.

I have no idea how to re-time it.

Right now I have the motor out and soaking the rubber wheel that turns the main shaft.

Interesting machine.

Yeah. Many people used 3-in-1 oil to lube them. It becomes like glue when it varnishes. Real sewing machine oil is pure mineral oil. No plant-based stuff. wd40 thins the 3-in-1 varnish but eventually evaporates. edit... I missed the part where you said you cleaned and lubed a bunch of times. It sounds like you cleaned it all out.

There's been a couple machines like that at goodwill lately. But all the rubber is either missing or so cracked and dry rotted and about to go missing.

I've still got a snow blower I need to fix up. Needs new fuel lines and a carb, then it's a housewarming gift to a friend.

Actually, I used this.

I guess if you're ok with the off-brand stuff...

A heat shield some how came loose perhaps?

It almost sounds like a defective pulley. Could be a pump too.

Singer vintage sewing machine oil is off-brand?

My wife now has 3 sewing machines. She also got my mom's Singer 401.

The cattle panel worked great. We did tomatoes on it. I'm going to get a couple more next season for beans and peas.

I ended up with a 900lb motorcycle in my shop for repair. Been sitting for like 8-9 years. Transmission howl. Hopefully just a clutch but I heard 4 gear is weak in these.
