This is what most vacuum motor brushes look like in their holders, when removed from the motor, the carbons are the black/grey parts, they should not be worn down to reveal the pressure springs: |

This is a video of what severe arcing in a motor looks like, I have had Dyson motors doing this, and it really does stink and smoke: CLICK HERE TO GO TO madabouthoovers's LINK |

hey i checked it the brushes were fine there was still a good length on them. Took it outside (was afraid of what it would do) got her turned on and i saw some arching. I will toss the motor and keep the parts as they are still usable. Thanks again for all the help |

Too right Steve, I don't think I've ever seen a bagless cleaner which hasn't shown signs of being clogged or having been clogged at some point.
Even if the clog was removed and the motor returned to seemingly normal working order, there will probably be some damage there waiting to just give way. Once again, bagged is best... |
