FOLLOWUP -- IT WORKS -- Help with motor capacitor wiring
John, the new capacitor from McMaster arrived in the mail, after
installing it the motor almost jumped on the table, and runs great. 10 minutes later, the compressor was reassembled and oil put in the crankcase. A fun little story. i On 2009-11-06, Jon Elson wrote: Ignoramus8745 wrote: Picked up a "2.98 kW" (4 HP?) 60 gallon Speedaire compressor with a self described "bad motor" for $50. I am kinda hoping that the motor is not actually bad. So, have you tried it, yet? What happened? Jon |

A fun little story. Excellent! That turned out to be pretty simple. Still don't know what the extra wires were for, but I guess it doesn't matter. Jon |
