20240821 143059 Toro Power Jet F700 vid 3

I stopped using my Toro Electric Corded Power Jet F700 because sparks were arcing inside when I looked in the exhaust. I did some research and then proceeded to disassemble the leaf blower: I was a little apprehensive, but I pressed forward with the disassembly because I hoped that I could repair it [big dreams]. My Father was a Master Electrician, so I retrieved his old book titled Electric Motor Repair by Robert Rosenberg: I am trying to understand what type of motor is in my leaf blower: I was leaning towards a Alternating Current Motor Control because I must plug it into the house electrical receptacle for it to power on; however the Universal Motor is applicable to both AC and DC? It has been a challenge to reassemble because the plastic housing has to matchup. These past four-(4) days has been frustrating because I searched both YouTube and the internet and also read the Electric Motor Repair book and I still cannot get the leaf blower to power on when plugged into electrical receptacle. I used color matching zip-ties, so I can reconnect the correct wires [only 2 pairs!!] I thought once I cleaned-up the commutator I thought my leaf blower was going to operate.
