    So on that Rotor... could it be that maybe the bearing was bad causing the stator to hit the rotor and wear away the jacketing on the wire making it short? those marks shouldn't be there on the rotor correct? Also... is the rotor supposed to be fully coated with that yellow/green coating?

    Harbor Freight Coupon Thread

    Nice!!! And they are probably one of the last places left where you can do this... try it at Sears or HD or LOWES and you get the brush off.
