Repair/Replacement Options for the Electric Cowl Flaps Motor

There was a one Rpm version and a two Rpm version. And if you buy the 2 Rpm version, the cowl flap will blow open or closed because the air pressure drives the motor through the gear train. So get the right one. 

I wonder how you learned that. :D

Because I broke yours and I ate the cost of the 2 Rpm version before I figured out I bought the wrong one, and then I ate the cost of the other one. So I’m pretty well-versed.

I will start this post by saying that I have read the existing threads on this topic and that I have some unfortunate news to share.  My cowl flap motor has been intermittently failing over the last few months, and it can no longer be ignored.  When I contacted Globe-Motors (Now Allied Motion) about getting it refurbished they told me they are no longer repairing or refurbishing these motors.  When I asked about purchasing a new one, I was told that there is a 4 unit minimum, a 38-week lead time, and that they do not sell to individuals.  I did try to email Bobby Eldrige but his global motors email no longer seems to be active.

I am looking to see if anyone knows any other options for repair or purchase for these motors.  My original part number is 880050-501, the updated part number is 880050-513 / M409M498.  Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

No matter how you eventually resolve this, let us know.  I’m sure others will eventually benefit from your unfortunate experience.

Sounds like those didn’t taste good going down. :)
