You may also want to check commutator/windings with an ohm meter to
make sure they are all the same. An open winding or bad connection to
the commutator will also cause those symptoms (along with some
sparking from the brushes).

You should find between 20 and 60 gnomes in there for a 240v vac, 1/4
that if 110v.


Dunno about "gnomes", but assuming the OP is in the U.S., it ain't
gonna be a 240-volt unit. We don't use that Yurpeen power over heah'.


Sure we do, I have some 240V tools here in the US, not hand tools though.


You know what I meant: ordinary, plug-in-the-wall stuff. Not talking
about your honking 3-phase, 5-horsepower planer or whatever.
