Trying to get a pony motor hooked up to my massive 75hp RPC. The 75hp motor doesnt have a shaft that sticks out on either side but I have adapted a pulley to one side of it for the pony to turn.
I can bump the breaker (pops instantly of course) and it will slightly spin. The problem I have is I have seen it try and go both directions. I thought I had it figured out, and after many tries finally got the 75hp to run without blowing the breaker. My pony was too small so I got a bigger one and now when I try to throw the big breaker the whole RPC will jump like its trying to spin the other way and the breaker pop is much much more violent. So it worked one time, now it doesnt, I'm so confused LOL.
Is there such thing as spinning the motor too fast? The pulley on my pony is a little bigger so if its actually getting to full speed the RPC will be going faster then its 1725rpms it runs at idle.
My next thing to try is to reverse my pony motor and try it all again that way and see if it takes.
