If you know how, SAE-30 non detergent oil into the motor and it will run like a top (have to leave it sit overnight though to let the oil soak in).
Because the motors are so tiny and people use them hard, they overheat and run while overheating so much they wear out quickly. Can't tell you how many Dirt Devils I have come across with sick-sounding motors or ones that spark like a subway train. |

Forgot to post the link. Many collectors say that oil type is what you need to use. I found this on WalMart but have not tried it yet: www.walmart.com/ip/Super-...
It is something that came out recently, states its not for use in gasoline engines, and its for compressors and hydraulic systems, so should be safe for electric motors. |
