Followed BillB's advice, and lubricated the shaft, and cleaned the motor, but when refitted, it worked for two sweeps before smoke started belching out of her and they stopped. Was lucky enough to get the last one in all the scrap yards within 50 miles of me for 100 yoyo's. Thank you for sharing you...

Hi Bill, my motor packed in today, and I'm told it will be 3rd Feb before I can get a replacement @£250 plus VAT. Can you advise me please?
