how easy is it to thread the lower looper?

It is not easy. Not much room for fingers and hard to see. After doing it many times, I have it down. Need to use the tweezers.

It takes an 1 1/4 NPT thread. I haven't had a chance to use it yet so I can't comment on how well it works. Tim

If it were me i would get a tap and die set and thread your lever. If you don't want to go thru that hassle you could try JB Weld.

i dont see any threads on this piece youd need to screw an attachment onto....so I m gonna say no...someone else may have found a way to do it...but i dont see the threads....

The tension knob should simply screw on, it may take a few tries, but if you align it carefully, it will screw on easily. Don't force it as that could damage the threads, gently does it!

Yes, I just tied a knot in each strap to adjust the hanging low issue. Worked perfectly.

Not easy; I used a very small copper wire to fish it thru. Thread might led it thru.

It depends if it is the same thread pattern but u will get a better skip if run it on the side or on te mirror and have it tuned to ur radio

I agree that the attachment of the strap is not very well thought out however I was able to pull the loop through the slots by forming a very small (Approx 26 AWG) solid copper wire into a hook shape and pressing the wire into one slot until I was able to pull it out the other with a needle noise plyers. Once the copper wire was though I made a tight loop of the wire around the strap cord and pulled it though. With the nylon cord threaded you can pull the larger part of the strap between both cords forming a knot. The technique requires some experimentation and finesse but its better than trying to take the unit apart.

I suggest that you use the CD that comes.with your serger and follow the instructions carefully. I had that problem at first and found that the CD was quite helpful. Remember to unthread the two needles before you retread the loopers.

Super easy. Twist off old one. Wrap plumbers tape around threads and twist it on.

Get the heavy, twisted strand (sometimes called knot wheel) in 16 gage. It will thread right on. If you have several to do would be best to get more than one.

Yes, you must thread it yourself the old fashioned way! I have three sergers, an Elna and two brothers and I have never seen a conventional needle threader on a serger. It's probably because it would be difficult or impossible to make one that would thread two needles next to each other. There are some sergers, (high end Brothers, I think) that claim to thread themselves using some kind of air puff system, or something, but I've never seen one in action and I don't know if even they thread the needles, or just the loopers. This is a very nice serger by the way, and I use it in preference to my higher end Elna all the time.

You can also just use a shoelace to attach the strap to the lower neck. This is what my son and daughter and all of their guitar playing friends and teachers do. Very easy and sturdy.

Hand screw on left hand thread. When it gets tight insert a screw driver between prongs.

I like the action low, so I have both lowered and raised the action using the truss rod. it's easy and one can find instructions online. Lowering the saddle is more complicating but I have not needed to do that.

this should do the trick: http://www.amazon.com/Origin8-DownTube-Shifter-Adapter-28-6mm/dp/B007Q4NKN2/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1383762644&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=downtube+clamp-on+bosses and there is a number of more classically styled one, just search for "downtube shifter clamp on bosses"
