I transformed my old Clark machine by fitting a metal liner to the wire feed, never looked back feeds as smooth as can be. Here in the UK Machine Mart sell them for just a few pounds easy to fit and would recommend it.

The other little trick is to use two old cloths pegs and clip a wad of wire wool onto the wire and a small wad of rag after it just before the feed rollers, it cleans the wire up a treat. Also in colder wetter climes its a good idea to take the roll off and keep it in the airing cupboard in between jobs.
