I say kit built as I pulled the machine out of a junkyard to rebuild.
I scored the motor and controls out of a Rockwell unit we were throwing out at work and installed them several years ago.
This combination was never easy to start, kinda laggy but would get there eventually. Once running it really never had the power the unit the motor came from even with similar size pullies, but it was usable as long as I didn’t push it.
Well I pushed it. It dropped out of run and into start a couple times, then the last time it quit full stop.
When I hit the power it hums and I can almost get it going kick starting it( moving belt by hand.
Would this be start cap related (hoping) or something internally to the windings?
