You can get some electric motor cleaner at an auto parts store, and that might help. Take the motor off of the machine, remove the brushes, and take it outside. Spray the holes that the brushes came out of while turning the shaft to clean the armature contacts. Wipe off the brushes and let it dry THOROUGHLY. Perhaps 2-3 hours. Replace the brushes and install it back in the machine. Run it wide open for about 2-3 minutes and it should help dramatically.
