I suspect it's bad design. Perhaps the way the brushes rub on the PCB as pointed
out by Philo (http://www.philohome.com/motors/motor.htm). "This higher friction
explains why 43362 stops faster when you give the shaft a twirl, and why its
no-load current is higher (9mA vs. 3.5mA)".
Its performance is degraded compared to the earlier motor (#71427). The only
advantage seems to be its lighter weight.
In previous posts misgivings have been expresed about this new motor which I am
now re-voicing:
