Need Info on a 1975 model trim motor

[tylerjames5787]

The trim was working when I got the boat but was working on getting the motor running and noticed the trim stopped working I need help on brush holder assembly and what’s inside the trim motor I swapped a black wire from being on top to the bottom just trying everything to make it work. And it worked for a split second and stopped I took it back apart and noticed the little button on the contact tab was gone it fell out and I squeezed it in there does it need to be glued or what. I put an arrow to the little round thing that fell out and circled the black wire that I moved to the bottom under the assembly thinking maybe it’s a ground and needs to touch the metal of the trim motor is that part correct in the picture or me moving it to bottom is that correct thanks

I believe those parts are a " thermal overload " device.-----Not a good idea to move wires and guessing.

So do you know anything about this specific brush holder assembly

And btw you got my motor running on my other thread my motor wasn’t spinning fast enough to make spark

If too much current goes through that assembly the bimetallic strip heats and opens the circuit ---trim motor stops before it is destroyed.
