Thanks Larry, I'll try the things you said. One question, I have also heard about putting some toothpaste in the gears for the first break-in period. Seems like it could work, but I'm not too sure. And, yes, I have also found that eliminating the "clip" on top of the motor helps as well. Braided copper wire works very well for this modification. Not common anywhere else, I find my braided copper wire at welding supply shops. Now, what's the best way to make contact on the bottom half of the motor? I'd still like to be able to remove the motor for service. Have you had any luck with those supposedly "conductive" greases? <br /> Todd C.
