Re: Bowser motor break-in??

Overall there is no "break in) for the motors Just make sure that the front and rear bearings are oiled. Put a little oil on then and let them sit for a while, add a touch more and let it run. Should be quiet.??

I have a Bowser loco kit I bought on EBAY that had?probably sat on the shelf for some years.
I just tried out the DC-71 motor for the first time and it is very noisy.? Does this motor improve after some break-in period?
If I squeeze the motor brushes so they don't push as hard, the noise is less.? I'm running it by itself, not attached to the model.
I notice that the motor poles have some rust.? Is that making the motor unbalanced?? what should I do to remove the rust?
I have cleaned up the commutator so it is nice and shiny.? I oiled the bearings.
Any help?
Thanks!
