I just had a problematic engine that ran hot very quickly.  The issue was something that I did not expect and took a while to troubleshoot.

The problem was that the brush plates on the armature were covered in grease/grime that seemed to be burned on.  I used copper cleaner to clean the brush plates, after swapping out the armature and finding that was the problem.  So check the brush plates on the armature and clean them if necessary.

Here is a link to the post I made on the subject, with some photos of the armature brush plates.
