Checking thread guide solenoid base 
 

Check for a deformed pin on the positioning spacer, B. Also check the thread guide solenoid base 
at the very bottom to see if it has a bump. A damaged or missing lower arm cushion usually 
causes this. If the positioning spacer, B, is damaged or deformed it will need to be replaced. If the 
thread guide solenoid base is damaged or deformed sometimes it can be filed at the bottom to 
remove the bump in the metal or it can be replaced as well.
