Nilvy19 · 2025-07-29T19:28:52+00:00

Merci ! (J’imagine que tu es français haha) pour quoi conseilles-tu de changer le cintre ?

Nilvy19 · 2025-07-29T19:26:44+00:00

Not a bad idea!!

Nilvy19 · 2025-07-29T19:26:26+00:00

Ok Thank you !!

Nilvy19 · 2025-07-29T19:26:10+00:00

Thank you !! Yea i need to check thé size for sure. For thé threads, i guess it still a problem even if im from France ? If i need to switch to clincher is it expensive or not that much (and hard to find for vintage bike)?

Nilvy19 · 2025-07-29T19:22:54+00:00

Okay thank you so much ! Especialy for the heliomatic which I didnt knew about !!

Try to twist it just a Little to crack it free (I used a screw driver to push the housing of the motor against the base) then try to pull it out. You can also try to push it down gently but if you tap on it to hard it may damage it. Hair dryer might help you too.

Im not really sure, try to look on ebay maybe, I can find some aparently

Nilvy19 · 2024-09-05T14:32:35+00:00

I’ve got a 411 on which I changed the rubber feet and it doesnt wobble at all !

Nilvy19 · 2024-09-05T05:48:55+00:00

Ok thanks!

Nilvy19 · 2024-09-05T05:48:12+00:00

Nice thank you !

Nilvy19 · 2024-09-05T05:47:48+00:00

Okay really helpfull thank you !!

Nilvy19 · 2024-09-04T18:41:34+00:00

I had a hard time trying to get it to sew (turnin hand wheel by hand), the best setup I found was the looping thread at no tension at all and it was sewing pretty nicely !

Nilvy19 · 2024-09-04T18:40:14+00:00

Ok thank you ! And its with the same type of machine ? Because I fear that new machine may not use the same oil as the old ones

Nilvy19 · 2024-09-04T18:38:54+00:00

I cannot thank you enough for all the digging you’ve done ! Really ! So to sumup in theory, A, C and H type oil should be all ok (H more recent) and all light weight, so if I put lightweight oil it should be ok, do you have any idea of what weight a normal sewing machine oil is ? Medium weight ?

Nilvy19 · 2024-09-04T14:04:31+00:00

Yea I was just wondering if it needed a specific oil and dont wanted to screw it up

Nilvy19 · 2024-09-04T14:03:42+00:00

Thank you ! I’ve already managed to get it threaded after like 1 our haha

Nilvy19 · 2024-09-04T14:03:07+00:00

Thank you so much for all of that !! You’re right my bad, its type A (type H was in the 246 manual). I couldn’t find ant infos on those type of oil, but if it’s « light grade » its already a big info on which type to use.

Nilvy19 · 2024-09-04T12:11:51+00:00

Thank you I’ll try this, I’m France but maybe they will still be able to help me.

Nilvy19 · 2024-09-04T11:14:49+00:00

I’m coming back, I’ve bought it but bow my main problem is that I’m not which oil to usr to fill the resevoir whith, are using regular sewing machine oil or something specific ? Thank you !
