NH 273 issue

I posted about this baler a few days ago. Thought I had figured out why it would get out of time, cause the safety stop to remain in the chamber and bust flywheel shear bolt. When we rolled it by hand my wife noticed the right hand needle seemed to push against the bill hook drive gear. Changed the needle out and now we can't get they right hand to tie. Actually it won't even stay threaded. When you try to rethread it cuts the twine off and leaves a 6-8" tail hanging out of the twine disc. Almost like the knife slides across the bottom of the billhook way late. Also am having issues with the twine staying on the billhook. Any ideas?
 
Unless you truly and honestly know how a knotter works then this is what you have to do. You have an advantage as one side works and ties. Clean all hay out of baler. Now take the twine out of the knotters. Now trip the knotters and turn it over SLOWLY by hand. Watch that bad side does everything exactly the same as good side and at the same time (needles come through chamber exactly same time and rubs against bill hook with exactly same pressure) and every thing else exactly the same. Bill hook from bad side is in exact unison as bill hook from good side, Knotter knife starts same time bad side to good, knotter tension is same from bad side to good. I don't mean close to the same, I mean dead on. Every step of the cycle--dead on the same bad side to good.
