Chuck,
Have you oiled the motor yet and the distributor clutch. I think thats the one you called motor clutch.
There is a lot of info at the wiki site Jeff Albrecht set up.
It sounds like the clutch is not latching. Be sure to oil the felt pad inside the drum and the inside of the drum as well. You dont have to take anything apart to do this.
All the felts inside the 4 drums need oiling as well.
The latching mechanism is down below the drum. Sometimes it does not move and needs oiling and freeing up. See pic on a junker all apart. Its just to show you where the latch pivot is. Obviously you dont need to take yours apart.
Do you have the new vinyl hammers yet?
Send me your address off Greenkeys and I will mail you a couple.
Best regards,
Wayne

Hello GreenKeyers,
I have a Model 33 (the one with the paper tape puncher on the left). Says Model 3320.
We've got all the keys working and can type "The quick brown fox..." but the motor clutch seems to squeak and thump and tries to catch and locks up. This tends to happen the more it is warmed up. We immediately turn it off so as not to lock up the motor. There is supposed to be an adjustment for that, but we don't know what it is. Can anyone point us in the right direction?
Chuck Rehor with the fantastic help of Eric Kudzin and Eric Moore!
