dont know if anyone can solve this? I have a HillyBilly golf trolley. It stopped and whilst the company want £69 for a new motor, I took it to pieces and found the carbon bushes had worn right down,
New ones were not available but I found similar on Ebay (Dyson vacuum) rubbed then down to size and fitted them, connecting copper wires together by solder.
The motor now works, but initially it went backwards!!! Changed the wires round, goes other and correct way.
My problem is that whilst the motor spins the wheels well, there is very little torque, and any sort of hill and the motor just cannot cope.
Has anyone have any ideas what can be the problem. I would add before stopping due to the bushes it was fine, however the bushes were rounded to the armature whilst the new ones are still square on the end until of course they wear down, would this make any difference?
