Electric mitre saw sparking from motor ?

I have a pro compound mitre saw and it sparks and smells of burning from the motor when in use, had the motor in bits but don't really know what I'm looking at, could this be the bushes??

Blocks of spring-loaded carbon that deliver power to the rotating part of the motor.
