I just did a little more investigation and was heartened by what I found. It only took a minute or two to pull the endbell off and I found the bearing intact but a little worn/loose. When I looked at the stator and rotor, they didn't touch long enough to even knock the rust off. the brushes look good, but it looks like the rotor moved back because the insulation is worn off of the wires going to the outlets in a few places as if the plate that the brushes ride on was moving back and rubbing on them. All the other wires look good and there appears to be no damage. You would swear that a mouse had gnawed the insulation off the wires if the cracks were big enough for one to fit through the way the wires look. The plastic housing is not damaged so I am going to try to order a bearing online and replace the damaged wires. I hope that will fix the problem. I hate to junk the machine since it appears to be otherwise in good shape and hasn't even been run enough to get the muffler rusty all over. If anyone has anymore insights, I would certainly appreciate them and I am grateful for the help so far. It certainly pointed me in the right direction to start figuring out the problem.
