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.)


NT

There is no such thing on an electric cement mixer.

If you can show us the speed determining mechanism on every electric
cement mixer ever made I might believe you.

The speed is determined by the mains frequency and only varies slightly
withe load.
As it is with all induction motors.


Of course there have been various other ways to drive them over the
century plus they've been around.


By hand.
Plus with a diesel engine.
Forty years ago, electric mixers were unknown.


BULL****, I used one 45 years ago and it wasnt anything like new then.
