As per other post i would say it burnt out / has a burnt spot.

Can you spin it by hand?

Sorry about double post, wanted maximum exposure, would be nice to sort out what i need to do by tonight lol   :embarassed:

I connected it up about 10min ago to show a mate and first time it went, however now, it wont spin.

Think i can take it apart and grease it up?

£75 upwards down here, and don't really want to go spending on something i can fix?

I will strip it all down tomorrow, chuck a shed load of grease in it and see if i can get it to work.

After seeing it spin earlier, there is still a glimmer of hope  :laugh:

Dave open it up I bet the final copper contact is knackerd after the solenoid pops out it creates another circuit which then allows it to spin you maybe able to rebraze some metal back in there if its worn down

I did have a look yeah, and everything seemed ok.

Once i free'd up the shaft, i thought all was well, it spun after all  :huh:
