[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 263728, member: 4469"] If you have a potentiometer type speed selector, I'd say it is dirty or corroded or getting burnt up. You would have to take it apart and inspect it. A pot would have a wire inside the canister, is coiled and provides more or less resistance / conductance to allow you to change the speed. Often infinitely adjustable, especially on older motors. Not sure how the newer ones work with like 5 forward and 3 reverse speeds. Probably use large resistor ckts for each speed. Tim [/QUOTE]
