I was teaching my daughter to turn a pen this weekend and when she got to the sanding part I left for a bit (well someone had to check on Christmas dinner) when she came running to get me. She said it made a light "popping" noise then a big pop so she turned it off. When I went to turn the lathe back on, the motor would run but it wouldn't spin. If you give it a twist with your hand, it starts up OK. I've checked manual and found no troubleshooting guide Anyone have any ideas as to what went wrong? I could probably order a new part but don't know which one.
