Thanks to all who replied. I will clean out the motor and check the
cintrifugal switch as suggested. The start capacitors are only a few
dollars. If that doesn't do it, I guess I'll have to get a new band
saw one of these days. Thanks.

Is it a simple start capacitor? Verify by trying to run the motor with a
hand start. If it's a start/run configuration, putting a simple start in it
will result in failures as you have experienced.

Note the PSC, CSIR and CSCR configurations available.
