Mend Kenmore Length Apart

Kenmore 158.14001 Stitch length knob now turns, won't change length?

First it wouldn't turn to change the length, so I took it all apart. Found the part that needed to turn, oiled well, then used two opposing pairs of pliers and got it to move freely. Put it back together - but now it ONLY sews tiny stitches. Before it was stuck on 11/inch (which would have worked better!). What is wrong?

very important to clean and oil this adjuster properly as is normally neglegted by some techno s, glad you won

I'll answer my own question. Took it apart again and found a "plunger" which wouldn't plunge. Soaked in oil, got it moving freely and reattached. Now I have variable length stitches! Persistance pays.
