Re: All wiring nominal and TL not working

Chances are the TL motor only needs the internal electrical connexions cleaned and the commutator cleaned up a little and the brushes cleaned.

The TL motor can be bench tested but it will require making a very simple 'tool'. Cut a circular piece of 3/4" board the same size as the inner diameter of the TL motor housing. Drill the center of it for a bushing, i think a starter bushing will work. JB weld the bushing into the wooden circle and assemble it to the motor.

Be careful when applying electricity to the TL motor. It is a high torque motor and mite want to start rolling across the bench real fast so hold it down.
