I am trying to help someone else and talking him through it. This is exactly what I suspect. He had some heat at the top field connection where there was a big glob of cold solder joint. I had him fix that this morning. Now I am thinking service the motor -- clean commutator, lube top and bottom and test again while motor is sitting free. Of course I will make sure axles and gearing all free and lightly greased. The big glob looked like a past repair attempt poorly done so I questioned electrical integrity. The caps to brush holders are a mess also and are globbed across both sides of brush holder so that the spring cannot be moved to enable brush withdrawal. I will probably have him suck all the old solder off that and do it properly if we both feel he is comfortable.  Thank you all for your comments. The caps were my unknown and I did not think they were aiding start in any manner since they are not across the brushes but are brush to common. Again thanks so much and I welcome any other thoughts.
