just bought a second hand belle 130 cement mixer. to find out it rotates so
quick it is dangerous and pretty useless. if i changed the capacitor would it
resolve the issue.
should i change the complete motor.
feel stupid and lost money .....any advise appreciated

There's only one possibility. Someone has fitted the wrong motor.

or the wrong pulleys.


or that it's rotating at the designed speed but that's faster than the
average


or that it has the right motor & right pulleys but that the centrifugal speed regulator is not working. (More likely to apply to historic equipment.)

No, should just be an ordinary induction motor, probably 1500 rpm, AND A
GEARBOX.
