Are you running a generator? It could be as simple as dirty brush holders preventing the brushes from reaching the commutator on the armature. As the brushes wear, the springs continuously push the brushes down against the commutator. Dirt will prevent this. I have remove the brush cover strap and reached in ad pulled back on the springs and let them snap back down, dislodging the dirt. The generator continued to do its job forever after that.
