They were stopping at random places. Pulled it apart and the three bolts that hold the motor to the bracket were loose causing the mechanism to bind. Couple drops of thread locker, a few dirty words, and 45min. later all is good.
I thought that was the issue.

So it's a common issue? By the way they were stopping I thought it was mechanical. Must say I was relieved to find it was a simple,free fix.

It can surprise you if you have something people want. If you put in the description and part number, then find "completed auctions" it will tell you what sold and didn't, even if there are no current listings.

Fairly common. Did you pull the assembly out to tighten the bolts?

Yeah, I noticed the motor was loose and wanted to see if anything was worn so I just pulled the whole assembly out. Took a little noggin scratchin to get it out and back in but it wasnt too terribly bad.

First one I did, I tightened up the motor without removing the assembly. My hands were bleeding red and the air was blue!!! Never again.
