Arjun Saini Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share Posted November 7, 2023 Yes but it’s the alignment of the bearings that’s giving me difficulty plus the commutator has to align with the brushes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Rathberger Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 The bearings could be shot. The old guys used to hold them upside down to test. If it ran better, bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Lindsey Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 the front bearing floats so alignment isn't the issue probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
