Sorry, but my advice is to throw it away. With the 5380 anything more than a cord is not worth repairing.
My recommendation is to buy a Makita 5007 series and stay away from Skil.
i looked online at places I get parts from. Neither listed the motor as a part the had the aramature for about $70 and the field for about $35. Have you tried the reset button? also it may just need new brushes.(if you see lots of sparks at the end of the motor opposite the blade, look through the air vent slots it is likely the brushes, unplug the saw, and take them out and replace them HERE is a blow up ) the I would think that if the saw is well used and the motor has burnt out. It may be a lost cause. I am not sure what the price of this was new but you can get a reconditioned saw from Amazon
for 135 bucks. And it is a 15 amp saw.
even its just a 2 mos.old if your power tool was over used there is the tendency to sound like krunkling sound.,particularly when the unit you bought is just an imitation.
now,if the skilsaw you have now is let me say genuine,not overused and you are not comfortable with the sound you hear from it,then there is the posibility that it has a factory defect.Now,becoz it is already unto you,you can open and check the bearings,and also the "half moon" between the power gear and the axle/rod of the armature,it might be loosen.If your skilsaw is genuine and branded,you can buy it for areplacement of the said bearings & half moon.
you can check the brush too,becoz when it was over used the brushes are surely shortened and not equally grined..and if that so,an uncomfortable sound or noise will hear from it.
It sounds like you bought a lemon possibly. I am thinking that the gears are bad. What you can do is remove the blade and unplug the saw. locate where the screws holding the bearing cover are and remove them to get to the gear and check it. Let me know if you need more help
