Re: Fixing Burnt Motors

Chris,
The more obvious (at least to me) is that the choke is under rated in order to fit it in the motor that is extremely noisey. It was an afterthought. Remember that the motor is not designed for repair. It is just that some of us have figured out how to open it, diagnose, and repair. This is not a job a typical FTC or FLL team could accomplish.
