Hello,

Mines just gone and i am going to attempt to replicate what others have done, and resurrect my motor.

As i assume you are doing the same, any tips for me?

Cheers

I've read of defunct motors being submerged in diesel for a week & working fine afterwards

Do this first then run them both ways using an old battery whilst still in the bath.
This resurrected mine

A bit dangerous messing about with electrical things whilst in the bath!

I have resurrected mine by drying it and submerging it in diesel, it started working again but failed few days later (someone from the forum said that they will fail again)

The small motherboard and transistors needed to be replaced, I am not a 100% sure how long it will last but it is working fine for me now.

So I am looking to buy broken ones, refurbish them and offer them for reasonable prices on eBay.

There are no transistors or motherboard in the actual motor, it is literally just a motor. Once cleaned and dried (I put mine in a 90 degree oven for an hour) there is no reason for them to just "fail" shortly afterwards.

Mike, how important is the ultrasonic cleaner in this process? Can it be resurrected without this?

It's not needed, I just used it because I have one lol. A good rinse in liquid followed by thorough drying is the key.

I'd love to see that pic. afaik there are only brushes in there (on a brush bridge) and maybe a noise surperssant capacitor.


Drying the motor works really well with some compressed air.
You can even with a toothpick or a small screwdriver go through the collectorplates to clean the last debris what still might be stuck in there.

What are you going to refurb and how much are you paying for a motor?

I will open it, clean it and if any components needs changing I'll get them changed by a pro.

I would be more than happy to offer a repair service but the guy is always away, it takes a while to get it back and I am sure most of you guys would want it straight back ASAP !! That is why I am offering to buy instead of fixing.

You think you can remove the back plate of the motor and get it reseated properly?
It a tab-pressed fit. So you have to re-press / re-punch those tabs.
If you can open it up and close it again properly there is no need to let it run in diesel or something like that. You can take a brush with cleaning solution etc, polish the collector, and refurb (at least re-edge) the brushes etc.

I wasn't attempting to open mine, for the very same reason.
