Hey everyone! Ive got a kirby model 515 from someone yesterday, ive switched it on it sound like it should, but the bearings were rough, today i opened the motor, cleaned and repacked the bearings now it sounds like the motor is running slower. And i see sparks coming from the commutator wich wasnt there. Its not getting to the speed where you can hear that kirby sound. The shaft turns free. I thought maybe ive swopped the brushes i tried that but its still slow. I lightly cleaned the commutator with sandpaper while i was greasing the bearings, can it be that the sandpaper may have been too rough?
Warm Regards
