I have an Enco carbide grinder 161-2060 mfg 1992
it runs (requires manual spin) but does not start (hums)
single phase single voltage 115 1/2HP - three leads from the motor
it has a 20uf capacitor that I assume is a start and run capacitor
there is no internal centrifugal switch
I thought this was an easy one but after some of the obvious fixes failed, I am sort of lost
I think anything I could ask would be answered by a picture of the wiring in the base of same unit - it is possible I am missing a relay component to aid in starting
short story shorter - if there is a member with the same grinder that runs who could take a picture of their wiring arrangement in the base, I think that is all I need to get this back in service - it is far from the best machine, but it deserves better than scrap for want of a $10 repair
TIA
