HI Folks, a number of you helped me in my disassembly of my power head and motor on my 1954 SS. I replaced the bearings and spacer in the motor and all seemed great until 10 minutes ago. As I was starting a new pen, I stopped to see how my cuts were going. When I tried to restart I got a humming sound and no motion. I tried moving everything by hand, including changing the speed but to no avail.
I removed the motor cover from the end and freed up the motor belt.
After that I tried power again and all the motor did was hum, then start to run at about 50 rpm, with a background humming noise.
Does anyone have any input?
Am I going to waste more time, and/or should I get a new motor? The one from the factory is over $400, but I have concerns about another used one.
Thanks!
