It was not running unless I pushed down hard on the switch and then barely did.
I took it apart, brushes worn and I thought switch. Got new parts and nothing.
So looking at stator, the tiny copper wire ends where they connect to the terminals, were breaking, copper wire metal fatique.
Only fix was to pull little connector and solder on some new wire ends,
Not worth the expense of getting a new part for it.
Other thing, putting it together it rattled horribly, the stator was moving around. I cut a new shim from top of cereal box and removed the compressed rubber shim, now its smooth and quiet like it should be. A rubber shim from an inner tube bike tire would be better.
It maybe my old switch was ok, $18 at Amazon... But it does work better now on partial speeds. The new brushes even though claimed 395 compatible, were too wide in one dimension, had to sand down to fit.
