>Hello all: David I hope you are feeling much better. My little problem is that

I am, except that I went in to have my staples removed and for
reasons that aren't clear fainted in the waiting room.  Hurt my knees
and spent two days back in the clink^H^H^H^H^Hhospital while they
ruled out a bunch of stuff.  Just got home this afternoon, feeling
fine except for the knees.  Hey ho for an exciting life. :)

As to the problem, as Dennis said brushes that are too worn to have
proper spring tension against the slip rings tend to work ok at idle
and misbehave at higher engine rpm.

Yours,
David
