While trying to adjust the level of my lathe in this video:
The motor stopped on me and just started humming. You can see in the video I pulled it and put it on the bench, replaced the start cap with another dissimilar one (I also ordered an exact replacement and tried with that one to no avail) it did the same thing just a hum and even manually trying to start it it wouldn't turn.
I'm guessing the run coil is burned out but a full disassembly didn't reveal anything burnt or obviously broken.
Before I throw the old motor out is there anything I should double check that may breath life back into this guy?
Thanks,
