No. The drawbar doesn't apply tension to the spindle bearings. It just applies tension to the top and bottom of the spindle tube, and the bearings run outside of that tube.Well, I'll scrutinize the bearings a bit. I have held the spanner nut on the top while trying to loosen the draw bar. Perhaps I've over tightened it. Sound possible?

When your is 'cold' does it run super slow?
I did suspect the start capacitor, only be cause I dunno exactly what a start capacitor does and my problem seems to be on start up!
Hows that for troubleshooting technique?
Thx for the tips

Still not going to damage the spindle bearings doing that.I grabbed a spanner and tugged on the spanner jamb nut while holding the draw bar, when it turned I suddenly realized what I had done. I believe that I returned the spanner nut back to where it was.
Nope, didn't figure that I had damaged them,... did think that perhaps I'd over tightened them.Still not going to damage the spindle bearings doing that.
So looking at the drawing on the following page, what part number was the "spanner jam nut" that you turned?tmarks11
