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!

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.
