I took the entire thing apart like 1 hr ago and found that everything needed to be cleaned and repacked with grease. So I did that and took apart this one section which had the copper contacts of the selenoid and they were worn down really badly. So I mcgyvered them with some liquid soldeir and ground them down with a file and put eveything back together. Bench tested it and it worked like a charm. That was seriously the quickest fix I have ever done. I know it's cheeze dicking it, but I only wanted to see if the motor was shot, Now I need to go to the hardware store and pick up some 1/4 inch copper sheet and bend and drill some new contacts.
