Mend Sears 158.16031 Motor Fine Years

motor sounds fine, no sewing action?

RE:Sears kenmore 158.16031 Given to me a few years ago, was cleaned, tuned-up then and working great.Now it has stopped. It sounds like something is slipping,the needle wont engage when motor is on. I can do this manually w/ handwheel( which requires more effort than usual). the belt around the motor shaft appears intact and in track. It moves freely when I use the foot pedal but nothing else happens. I cant really see or get to the insides. What has gone wrong? Is this a DIY repair? P.S. any idea of this machines' age or where I can get an owners manual?

Hello Kathigo,
It sounds like the belt is slipping or the pulley on the motor is slipping, you need to get to the motor and belts to check, I can attach a list of sites for manuals if you e-mail me below.
