I have a machine with an electric motor in it. We asked a bit too much of it
and during a job it laboured and ground to a halt.
Now when we start it up it spins slowly and grinds to a halt after a few
seconds.
It can be turned manually with ease.

Has something likely burned out within?
Is a repair likely? If so am I looking at a rewinding company?

Any input appreciated.

If it's a standard motor have a look on ebay. You'll probably get a new
one for less than the cost of a re-wind.
