Going BL on my Savage

With the back plate off, you can slide the rotor out - just be careful not to scrape the windings on the way out. Then you should be able to get a good look at the windings.

I guess my question would be...could it have been defective? I will buy a new one if it was my fault...chalk it up for experience...but I would hate to do it and find out that it was defective.

I have a 9L that spins real smooth. This one from the beginning had a little bit of resistance. I thought it was because it was a "bigger" motor that the tolerances may be tighter.
