its a late 90's model r40tt easi reach. runs smoothly but electric motor is loud and making a sparking or clicking type sound. what may be the cause?
for the loud motor is it because maybe the motor is too dusty?
as for clicking or sparking sound im not sure. it worries me.

a lifted commutator segment will give a clicking sound and also will cause arcing when the brush gets lifted off of the armature.

i have had success in the past using a very corase comm stone on the armature, they can cut alot of material off the armature so be careful finish with a fine seating stone and replace the brushes with dealer supplied ones (aftermarkets are no good i have tried them all) watch out for the drive motor fan when the motor is running!

a motor replacement/rebuild is always an option as well.
