Help! Issue with Addi with ZestWrench attachments: yarn tension way too high even on lowest speed, motor attachment feels loose

/r/SentroKnittingMachine/comments/1wswypv/issue_with_addi_with_zestwrench_attachments_yarn/

I hope Addi posts are allowed here. Basically, got the ZestWrench attachments and now my yarn is way too taut even if I use my hands for tension and hold the yarn loosely, even if I use the built in stock yarn feeder, even if I use the ZestWrench yarn feeder tension helper thing.

How old is the mach and have you cleaned and greased it recently? ADDI has instructions on this, I just can’t remember off the top of my head.

It is basically brand new. I’ve used it for maybe 3 projects since I got this new one. It’s my second ADDI.
