Hi all. I picked up a G4003g lathe from grizzly. Got it installed and went through the break in procedure without any problems. I powered everything off and did a few things, then tried to start it back up. I pulled the start stop switch out hit the power start button and started hearing a humming sound from the motor. When I flipped the start lever on the carriage, nothing happened. I hit the stop button and all the lights went out, but i still heard the humming. I unplugged the machine, waited a minute, then plugged it in and the humming started again, even though the stop button was pushed in and no lights were on.
I unplugged everything and waited about an hour, plugged it back in. Now when I pull the start stop button out only the power light comes on but the power start button does not illuminate and I can't start the machine at all (althoug I can turn on the worklight).
I did the capacitor check on the motor and it looked like the values were slightly dropping but then tapered off to a constant value. Sounds like this could be bad? I also did the centrifugal clutch check and that looks ok.
Any other things I can be looking at this weekend? I plan to get back in touch with Grizzly tomorrow morning but I thought I'd reach out to G4003g owners who've gone through similar issues with theirs.
Thanks
