From: thomas sargent I took the motor apart. The brushes were definitely gunked up. Cleaned all with acetone and Q-tip and got it back together and working. thanks for all the info. A word to any one doing this for the first time: My first attempt was to do this with the motor in place in the plane (RV-6A) which was a bad move because the motor is sloping down at a 45 deg. angle. When you remove the cap on the end, things can fall out (there are 3 tiny washers). In the end it is less work to just remove the motor from the plane. I left it mounted in the aluminum U-channel and removed the bolt that goes thru the rod end bearing. If all other screws holding in the channel are removed, you can get that assembly out. The springs that press the brushes into the motor shaft have to be tied back with string or thin wire when you re-assemble it. I used safety wire. -- Tom Sargent ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
