If there is enough mica (red stuff)left between the commutator bars, carefully lower the spaces between them around a 1/32 to 1/16 of an inch with a narrowed hacksaw blade, ground to just fit the groove.
Keep them all even by counting the strokes, then polish the commentator chucked in a drill press with sand paper. Do not use emery cloth. and blow residue off with compressed air.
If the brushes have worn a groove into the commentator, a machinist can true it back up for you, then repeat the above process.
