I know I could go out and buy a new one or steal on off one of my other machines but they run and I'd rather learn. This is the original motor on the Morse 5L and it smokes a bit and I see some sparks inside. Maybe it just needs cleaning of all the dust bunnies that are probably being electrocuted.
someone may have put oil in the motor, it will probably clear out eventually, or you can clean the armature off with alcohol and a qtip, the brushes also, if you take it apart. Some sparking can be normal.
