It's on a Delta drill press, started on its own last week, but doesn't now, just sits and hums. If I give the drive belt a fast enough yank, it'll come up to run speed and operate normally.
It came from my Dad's estate, no idea how long it's been since it were apart, possibly not since being built. It has a mechanical switch in the junction box linked to the front of the dp with a long rod so I don't really want to replace it with something else. Doable, and prob quieter, but don't want to rig up another switch arrangement.
Were this a cap start induction motor, I'd know exactly what to do, but this is a different animal.
Any good ideas on what's wrong with it? (And how to fix it?)
