--> Rocket-List message posted by: "u2nelson" <u2nelson@prodigy.net>
I had almost forgot about this, I too had my flap motor quit, at about the
50-60 hour point, I lowered the flaps after engine start to check the
operation, and they would not return up. I sprayed a little ACF-50, the
anti corrosion lubricant, into the top of the motor into little cooling
holes that are there on the off chance it might get the motor going again (I
suspected dirty brushes or something along those lines) and Low a behold and
much to my surprise.., it starting working again immediately, and has worked
flawless ever since, that was 300 flight hours ago, and three years ago. I
should probably spray a little in there every annual just to make sure!

Harry,
You gotta learn to take them apart and clean off the armature. I did
that and mine has been fine since (80 hours later).
There is a somewhat helpful page on how to do this at vans site.
