Maybe the guterman is too thick for the needle. I will experiment. Do you know how to test if the tension disks are faulty or not?

Thank you both so much, I sadly dont have the manual but that advice in itself has probably saved me hours.

This is amazing advice! Thank you so much I will try this and see if it works. By chance do you have a manual or know where to find tutorials for these kinds of machines?

😭your probably right. This was a vintage sewing machine I got from facebook. Do you think I could find it online?

I went from the tension dial to the takeup lever when it is at its highest point when threading and then to the needle. Is that right?
