Got to ride
Ionbeam, thanks for the prompt response, so something like parts or brake cleaner is definitely a no no? I have a couple of cans of that on hand, but the carb cleaner will be pricey here.Use carb cleaner.
The brushes are worn to service limit and starting to **** in the holders. The conductive material worn off the brushes is now embedded in the slots in the commutator causing current leakage.
Scooter, I'll try to take some better pics tomorrow, in the daylight as it's 3:30am here now and the lighting in my garage is not as good as I'd like.
I remember reading a comment you made about making sure to reinstall the tip-over sensor the right way up, I'm just not sure which/where the tip-over sensor is?
If all that stuff goes back on even 1/2 as easy as it came out I'll be a happy camper.
