I have a wonderful Kenmore 10 Stitch sewing machine. The belt is fine. Can I adjust the clutch?

I found a post about belt and clutch of Kenmore 10 stitch sewing machine, with photos

Kenmores have a two pulley system to make them stronger. To adjust the lower belt, one must loosen the motor mount and turn the pulley screws to the right. There is only one belt attached.
Do not lift out the clutch, because then the springs spit out the ball bearings.
I thank you tremendously. I appear to be running into the same drawback: Every 10 Stitch shown has the side stitch gauge. The one I have is exactly like my 8 Stitch, with the front mount stitch length knob. The one's in the video all have a two belt system, if I understand correctly, to get around the side stitch length knob.

It is not always easy to read and follow written instructions as you can miss a step and not realize it and then you're more or less lost.

Be sure to clean & oil your machine first. Here's a video that may help if the clutch still doesn't work correctly:
