## Discrepancy

LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT EXTEND ELECTRICALLY.  EXTENDED MANUALLY-3 GREEN.  AIRCRAFT LANDED AND TAXIED TO FBO WITHOUT INCIDENT. PLACED A/C ON JACKS AND RETRACTED GEAR-RETRACTED EXTREMELY SLOW. ON 2ND RETRACT MOTOR STARTED SMOKING. INSTALLED OVERHAULED MOTOR AND GEAR CYCLED WITHOUT FURTHER DEFECTS. NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE TO MOTOR. APPEARS TO BE INTERNAL FAILURE.
