Heres the fix for the rotor problem. I went to Advance Auto and got some
Permatex high temperature sleeve retainer, it cost about $9.00 Loctite
also makes the same thing. The I pulled the rotor magnet off the pinion
shaft cleaned them both with brake cleaner. Then I followed the instructions
for the Permatex and I never had the problem again. Everyone I talked to
at the track that sent motors back for repair has the problem over & over
again. My fix is permenent, so give it a try, nothing to loose but $9.00 &
a little time.
Hope this helps...
