I kind of wondered if it was a motor brush issue. I have a Kirby 509 that was running intermittently. I pulled the brushes and they were worn to nubs. I wonder, if with wear and age, the tension in the springs was no longer sufficient to cause one or both brushes to make sufficient contact with the commutator. Anyway, new brushes solved the problem.

Thanks guys for your input...I am going to bring my L into the vac shop this week to get it checked out. Hopefully it will be a simple brush replacement that will do the trick. =) Brian |
