Does the disk run freely when spun by hand?

Does the disk run freely when spun by hand? There are no plastic gears on my FBC. Are your gears gunged up by old grease? How hot does the motor coil get? Does the problem get worse after a while?

Very happy for you, should imagine it would be very hard to replace this motor

Quoted from DRDAVE:

I have temporarily fixed it by using a very thin nylon tie wrap and looped it around the spindle, tightened it to pull it back into the non worn side of the rounded out hole and greased the nylon to spindle contact area to minimize drag.

That is an amazing bodge. Well done
A new thread on amazing bodge's should be started ....but not me, my whole life is a bodge
