I once found a brush spring had been overcompressed and the brush was barely making contact, that gave it a very weak ahooga, more like a oaah. Tightening the adjuster screw just bound it up. Took it apart, stretched the spring back (as I waited for replacement) and it worked just fine.

Looking at that resistor, I think it would either work or it wouldn't. But that does look hot.
