I had the same issue yesterday. I was running my truck with the MM in it and after a couple of minutes it started cogging a lot and it stopped. When I got to the truck, I saw some smoke coming out of it. I thought I had burnt the MM, but the smoke was actually coming from the motor. All the wires were hot too. When I got home and took the motor out and it seems that the magnet has lost its strength and the wires looks like they heated up really good. The varnish is actually darker than the other motor I have. I have 2 similar motors. The one I didn't use yet, you can actually feel the magnets working, the one that came out of the truck spins freely.
