Um-hmm. Been there, done that! Hopefully, you have a manual (I'm not able to find one online).

Here are a couple of hints:

Remove all the thread from the machine.
Recommend using the colored threads that match the machine's guide--will help you figure out which thread is misbehaving.
ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and thread each in the correct order! Check your manual, but most machines need to be threaded #3 (upper looper), #4 (lower looper), then the needles.
With each thread, grasp the thread below the thread tree and also below the tension disk and give a gentle tug. Sometimes the thread will pop when it seats in the tension unit.
The lower looper thread tail should drape OVER the top of the upper looper and thread, then sweep all threads toward the back of the machine and under the presser foot.

You might try contacting the Necchi Support service.

I have a Necchi 4825. After rethreading, cleaning, etc... . I'm pretty sure the timing wheel is off. How can I fix this?

What is happening that makes you think the timing is off? Usually, timing gets knocked off when the needle strikes something during stitching. The symptom: top thread will not pick up the bobbin thread.

Be sure to install a brand new needle (make sure it is installed facing the correct direction). Remove the threads from the machine. ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot when threading the top thread. Verify it is threaded correctly top & bobbin.

If you still think it's out of time, search for sewing machine timing.

Necchi 160 Overlocker/threading

Perhaps something here will be helpful:

Necchi 160 threading Google Search

Necchi 160 manual Google Search

Even if you are unable to locate information for your specific model, most models around the same period use the same threading sequence. Be sure to ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot when threading.

I'm not sure how to thread my machine, I lost my manual elna lock pro 5Dc

I would suggest that you buy a new manual for this as your overlocker has 5 threads that need to be threaded up correctly to form a stitch and there are several different stitches that can be made with this model such as a rolled hem, chain stitch, three thread overlock, four thread overlock and safety stitch with three thread overlock, lots to learn.

You can buy a manual here for $USD14.99: http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/instruction-manual-elna-pro5dc.aspx
or this website has a copy for $USD10.
http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine_Manuals/Elna_Manuals/Pro_4DC_DE_Instruction_Manual.htm

Always well worth buying the manual and saving a lot of frustration trying to guess how things work and it adds value if you are going to sell the item.

You can get some general overlocker threading tips from http://sewing.about.com/od/sergersoverlock/ss/serger.htm which may help you too.
