[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 331857, member: 7544"] Tim, I never had to take mine apart. Mine was suffering from dirt dobbers building nest in it. After breaking off all of their visible nest I experienced a similar problem to yours in that it got worse. The dirt and grit would move around and make it worse at times. By continuously flushing it with water and working the pull rope in and out, it finally worked all the dirt out. After that I let it dry out good and then lubricated it as best I could. That motor belongs to a good friend now and it's going on it's third year of use since the cleaning and still working great. [/QUOTE]
