Razer put it very eloquently, paraphrased "Some sparks between the comm and brushes are normal. Flames shooting out of the endbell are not."

Did I say flames? Well, regardless, anything shooting out of the endbell is not good.

That depends on what motor you have. Cleaning it & re-oiling the bearings/bushings would be a good start.

You have any prefrences on a good oil for re-oiling the bearings and the bushings?

[razer]

You can get specialized bearing or bushing oil if you like, but I prefer good ol' 3-in-1 oil, which can be found just about anywhere.

Clean the comm and re-breakin the motor.
