I have the older K line operating colonial house with smoke and swing.. Then motor gear box at first sounded dry .. so I drilled a small hole and oil lubed it . All was fine...
Now when you first start it sometimes it will not rotate unless you rotate the armature..
I cleaned it with spray electronic cleaner seemed to help but once again when shut off at time will not restart on its own.. ONCE running it will run fine no noise and smooth... any one have that problem and fixed it ? thanks for the info and help...Daniel
