Default what's wrong with my Bench Grinder?

Hi all
my (extremely cheap) Bench Grinder stopped working a little while
ago. Switching the on switch just gives a little 'kick' to the wheels,
nothing more. I've replaced the Capacitor (4uF 450V) but nothing has
changed. I'm a bit surprised given that the motor is an induction
motor - is there anything to go wrong which might be causing this
symptom?

On a slightly different note, any suggestions as to where I can get a
cheap grinding wheel (150mm x 12mm or so) which has a finer abrasive
than 60 or so?

Thanks
Jon N
