I may have stupidly wired my Turbopower2 motor up incorrectly, and placed both wires onto the field, rather than 1 on a mounting block it came from...

It groaned when turned on, didn't spin and I saw a flash of flame through a join in the plastic. Plug was hastily withdrawm from the socket and the machine put outside just incase it was on fire, and because it stank!

Both of those pictures are either side of the motor. The motor still spins, field looks ok, carbons still look fine. Should I wire it up correctly and fire her up, or chalk this down to experience and admit this is the first time I've ever broken a vac completely? It did this to the filter which sits inside the casing by the motor

Cheers Joe I took pics of the wiring before removing it, and put the wires to the correct side but not to the right place. Realised that when I looked more closely at the picture Will test it out on Saturday and see what happens! | ||

Turbo power 1s are my favourite, but if someone offers me a vac for free I'll take it. This tp2 was only gonna get used for a few weeks and then given to someone who needed an OK machine. At the moment I have no space for tp2s and don't like them enough to 'hoover' up all that I see | ||
