Scotty,
I received my mill in the fall two years ago when the weather was already cooling. Because it wouldn't start in the higher gears after breakin then without warm up first I just accepted it as a characteristic of the mill and have never tried it in the heat of summer when ambient temp reached 100+. I always warm it up first and too cold to test it now. The mill runs great otherwise, only hits 76 decibels at full speed, power is excellent, I couldn't be happier. I guess what I'm saying is are you sure something is wrong before you head down a path of replacing parts that may not gain anything. Maybe the motors are a little short on their horsepower claim and a brand name motor would start right up but I'll let it be for now.
