Well I got a replacement crank meant for my B-19 machine and… I discovered ANOTHER issue. I put the new crank in and my machine struggles to wind. I had replaced the Pawl back in November and it worked fine. I haven’t used this machine since November or December and now it’s got as I like to call it “A mind of it’s own”. I made a video of the issue… can this issue be fixed with just an adjustment or will have to replace the winding pawl again for the second time? Yeah I have things go wrong on 2 machines now in one evening.

I wonder if I goofed up this pawl while trying to get the C19 crank out of this machine? I had a hunch getting that crank out I’d do something like this AND I PROBABLY DID!
