Sewing Machine Foot Petal Not Working Properly?I have a Brother overlock machine MA4-B661. The machine 20 yrs old. It used to work great. It has been in storage awhile. I just had it timed and threaded. The main (large, square) foot pedal gets pushed down, then it has to be forced back up (clutch engaged?) to stop sewing. I have been oiling the piece that goes in and out and has the belt attached. (Technical I am - not.) And have been working it in and out. The spring appears to have tension. Is that sufficient to get it working smoothly or is there something else I need to do?
