To fix a loose tilt-disk on the right side of a Singer 4830C that prevents the motor from engaging to drive the needle, follow these steps:
1. Unplug the Machine: For safety, make sure the sewing machine is unplugged.
2. Remove the Handwheel: - Loosen and remove the center screw or knob on the handwheel. - Slide the handwheel off the shaft carefully.
3. Access the Tilt-Disk Mechanism: - Remove the side cover or housing if necessary to expose the tilt-disk (part of the clutch or drive mechanism). - The tilt-disk is usually between the handwheel and the motor drive gear.
4. Inspect the Tilt-Disk: - Check if the tilt-disk is misaligned, worn, or loose. - If loose, locate the set screw or retaining clip that holds it in place.
5. Tighten or Reposition: - Realign the tilt-disk properly on the shaft. - Tighten the set screw or fastener securely to hold it in place.
6. Check for Wear: - If the tilt-disk is damaged or worn out, it may need to be replaced.
7. Reassemble the Machine: - Reinstall the handwheel and any covers. - Plug in the machine and test if the motor now drives the needle.
If the issue persists, the clutch mechanism or drive belt may also need inspection.

To fix a loose tilt-disk and a non-engaging motor on a Singer 4000 Series sewing machine, follow these steps:
1. Unplug the Machine: Always disconnect power before servicing.
2. Fixing the Loose Tilt-Disk: - Remove the top cover to access internal components. - Locate the tilt-disk (part of the stitch selector mechanism). - Check for loose screws or retaining clips and tighten them. - If worn or damaged, the tilt-disk may need replacement.
3. Fixing the Non-Engaging Motor: - Check the power cord and foot pedal for damage or loose connections. - Inspect the motor belt to ensure it is intact and properly tensioned. - Look for any obstructions in the drive mechanism. - Test the motor by manually turning the handwheel—if it moves freely, the issue may be electrical. - Use a multimeter to check for continuity in the foot pedal and motor. - If the motor hums but doesn’t turn, it may be stuck or need cleaning and lubrication. - Replace the motor if it is not functioning despite electrical checks.
If problems persist, professional servicing may be required.
