Electric splitter

Then another 3 for the labour cost when it gets here.

 

Being outside in the damp for a while, my guess is you have a stuck centrifugal switch.

 

Why not rip the back end of the motor off and check.

 

It's contacts should be closed when stopped and open against a spring when the motor spins up to speed. This then cuts out the start winding.

 

We send larger motors away for repair but the small ones are hardly ever worth it.

 

 

Aye, might give that a go, took long bolts and fan off but when end plate didn't seem very keen to move I chickened out, but now that splitters been replaced there is nothing to lose.
