I replaced brushes that were worn about 1/8 inch. Brushes arc and smoke when at reverse point.

Brushes on a Hitachi VB 16Y could arc and smoke at the reverse point due to excessive wear beyond the wear limit, contamination with oil or water, improper seating within the brush holders, or the use of incorrect carbon brushes. If the brushes are worn down, they should be replaced with Hitachi carbon brush No. 43 as specified. Additionally, ensuring the brushes are clean and slide freely within the holders can help prevent arcing and smoking.
