sparks inside Flex 3401 vents

[Tuan209]

hey guys,



I just got my flex from autogeeks and powered it on to see how the machine works/feels. Is it normal to see sparks inside the vents when the power button is engaged?

Yes as far as I know mine has always done it over 2 years old

The sparks are from the armature and the brushes. Its common

Although the item isn't listed on their site, you should contact Autogeek and order

another flex capacitor.
