cheyenne hooked skin

**P.Alonso** · 07-10-2011, 02:45 AM

Hello, I recently bought a spirit hawk Cheyenne, previously had proven time and taste as I drew the lines, (it was a leg skin is easier), but now that I have used in other areas, I have the problem that I hooked the needle to the skin. I think the hawk has a very short stroke, because I usually took more needle that allows me to hawk without engaging the skin, and therefore not defined with a few strokes.
Someone can help me?. The eccentric can be modified to give a longer stroke?
Thanks

turn up the voltage you may be running it to slow

I tested voltage very slow, medium and very fast and is equal, which voltage is best for line, for shading and filling?

Did you loupe the cartridge before running it? I ended up opening 3 separate mags the other day because the first two were useless; the first the needles were snagging/dragging on the bottom of the tip and the other had the needles running over the top of the lugs that are supposed to keep them at the back of the cartridge.

Hi Alonso I have a Spirit to if I turn the neeldels all the way out my needles also get hooked to the skin, if you just turn it in 2 clicks the problems is away on my machines, I hope this helped you.

Hi The Limey, As the modules are too expensive to be wrong ...

Thanks Jan li, but if I reduce the shock, I can not dashed defined because it is not deep enough ...
