should i change the complete motor.
feel stupid and lost money .....any advise appreciated

Three thoughts:
1. Change the motor pulley for a smaller one or the drum pulley for a

2. Check the motor speed on the rating plate, it should probably be
1425'ish RPM but perhaps someone has replaced the motor with a 2800'ish
RPM motor.
3. Sell it and buy another
