ok looking for feedback , have taken apart .lubed ,greased ,re-sodered all connections, checked and re-checked e unit. this unit looks mint and I have both the powered and dummy unit with horn. Here's the problem the amature is either off centre or the body/frame needs to be restaked. I have added a small nylon [homemade washer to the top of the armature ] and a flat metal washer to the bottom in an effort to control movement. I still see rubbing against the sides this of course impedes the use of the e-unit forward/neutral /reverse. Option A is to grind off some of the inside diameter /field to allow for movement ,Option B is to restake the motor. which would be extremely hard to do on my small limited workspace. Any suggestions?
