Hi Mark, My first thought is damage or a discontinuity to the commutator surface. This can be checked with a dial indicator. If found, lathe turning may be needed. Also check for high mica. The other things to check are all electrical connects and spring pressures. Make sure all brushes slide smoothly in the respective holders.
