That does not give the right to denigrate others. I wont trade free advice for letting him verbally abuse me for his own self inflation. Having said that nobody seems to agree if that is a start capacitor, or run capacitor, does it have a start switch or does it not, etc. Is it just the cap or is the whole motor a piece of junk to name a few.. Lots of opinions and I appreciate them all. I have to determine who I should listen to and who not to. It says something about folks when they get their feelings hurt when asked for clarification, so much so that they then need to try to make someone else feel small.

Thanks Glenn will do. By the way do you pay clarinet? My dad has all your albums. I tried that number and it is some products from niagra falls. I checked the number twice. Its no good. Do you have a different number? Thanks

If you enjoy denigrating others then indeed you and I are done.

where is the start relay? I dont see one in there do you? Also that link specifies a run capacitor. Do I want a start capacitor or a run?

Hey Art, where is that link you mentioned?

the motor starts and runs the same with or without the cap installed.

tag motor

It starts and runs whether its in or if I remove the cap completely and set it on the table. Sometimes it starts clockwise and other times it starts counter clockwise. It is a single phase 1/3hp 3.7 amps 1750 rpm motor. I dont see any centrifugal switch and I hear no click when its winding down when I shut it off like on the table saw in the garage.

so servos need rpm to make power too then. When I read about servos they say in the ads that they make the same torque at every rpm but I always suspected that cant be true.

Ok. Is that 1" of play at the foot pedal or 1" between the clutch disc and the pressure plate? Thanks LoveToLearn

I took the cover off the back of the motor and removed the capacitor. I put a voltmeter across the terminals with the meter set at 600v ac and got no reading. Then I started the motor with no capacitor and it ran the same as it did before. So the capacitor was doing nothing. I think I need a new cap to tell the motor which way to start. I dont even know if the cap that was in there is the proper cap. I wish I could get some part numbers for the cap and the wearable clutch parts. I would have a good motor then. Then I need a small motor pulley which is 15mm bore and about 35 to 45 mm diameter 3V and a speed reducter which I will make. I have been wondering why guys with the servo motors also add speed reducers? I thought the servo motor provided totall speed control. LoveToLearn

ya it says nothing about that in the instructions or any manuals Ive seen. Thanks for mentioning that important detail. Ill try it. LoveToLearn

Did you notice a remarkable difference in speed and control by changing that pulley?

nice quality. thank you very much. !!
