You are measuring voltage from one brush to wheels (ground)? (across field)  I wonder if the Naptha dissolves the armature insulation (shellac).  I use Go Jo hand cleaner (lanolin).

Yes voltage from brush to ground. I have washed entire e unit coils in lighter fluid and no issues. Also, the field is not shorted. But that thought crossed my mind too. I had to step away from this thing for a while I'm getting cross-eyed.
