    Wiring setup for sewing machine motor?

    Do I need to insert the foot pedal wire to the control box in order to get it to work or will it be possible to just short-circuit some of the contact points with a jumper?

    Depends on the type of motor, the older ones were simple Universal motors, now BLDC are usually used.

    I have the csm2000. I tried to get it to run, but it will only do a few rotation at a very low speed and then it stops up. I need to swich of and on the 0/1 button in order to have it to run again, but then the same thing happens.
    What may be wrong?

    Have you replaced the foot-pedal with a potentiometer?
    How is it wired?
    The motor must have the pedal or pot in the off position to "ARM"...this is the safety interlock system....
    Then you can adjust the pedal/pot to desired speed..

    I think it depends on the type of motor the sewing machine has.

    I agree that sewing machines with pedals are another era. The market has new sewing machines that are much better than old ones. Sewing machines also suffered big changes thus becoming easier in use, compact and affordable. I highly advise you to buy a new computerized machine. Read more here the reviews of top five best sewing machines reviewed already in 2020. These reviews are a great start to understand what market offers you and what to fit your preferences and requirements.
