Re: Warn 8274 Motor Problems
 

Is the blown motor why Warn says 'not' to use the synthetic rope?

Isn't that where they say the motor will overheat and die?

It uses the steel rope as a heat sink.

I would say it's time to open it up and see where the solder connection
melted.

Re: Warn 8274 Motor Problems
 

That link is just one I found to outline the test for the motor. That's not
my rebuild. I have a completely different situation, motor quite running
while in operation. I had only been running it for a minute or two, and it
wasn't even warmed up yet.

My solenoids are pulling in, power is going to the correct motor terminals,
and connections are freshly cleaned. Has to be in the motor. I call warn,
Bill. Thanks.

I have the standard 5/16 aircraft cable not the synthetic rope. That stuff
has not impress me as a EROCC judge....saw it snap several times last year
(it did fall straight down though).

A buddy of mine went to a local "starter" rebuild shop and had his 8274
motor rebuilt....seemed to work.

Re: Warn 8274 Motor Problems
 

I've seen the results of a lightning strike that happened to hit a cable-way
at an airport. It actually hit the pull-pit where most junctions were made.
It fused a bunch of wires in to one mass and some were just blown apart.
Would the sythetic rope melt to itself if it was supposed to sink heat?
