[TowerTalk] Removing Oil from a Motor

[Eugene Jensen]

Its called electrical cleaner and it is made by CRC and you should check
with any of your area electric suppliers who service the trade.  There are
other manufacturers of the same material.  Basically, you should turn the
motor upside down and spray allowing the liquid to cover the windings and
then drip back out.  It will evaporate leaving no residue behind.  73's

Subject: [TowerTalk] Removing Oil from a Motor


I have a prop pitch motor that has had oil drop in from the gear housing
(not mine I just got this prop pitch). Does anybody have any suggestions on
what to soak the stator windings (with housing) in to remove the oil (or
other method) but not harm the stator winding and insulation?  Right now I
can't remove the stator windings from the housing.
