I know nothing about this thing, can't even find the model anywhere:
**broken link removed**
Smoke was pouring out the old capacitor (start / run, I'm not sure) was a 60-80uF 275v, replaced with an 80uF 400v. Now smoke coming out of the motor...
**broken link removed**
*Think* that little black box is a magnetic cutoff operated by the magnetic field of the motor to isolate the capacitor and start coils (on the side its got "B8475/1 Magnetic Devices Limited England"). So assuming this is the case i thought the bearings were impeding the speed needed to cut out the starter coil and causing it to overheat.. replaced bearings.
I'm now in the predicament of not wanting to let any more smoke out of the motor, but i don't know how to test the alleged magnetic cut off. I need to wire up something to tell me if there is electricity flowing through those blue wires, so i can turn the thing on and maybe give it a ten count and if the electricity flow isn't interrupted i can switch it back off without damaging the motor further and investigate the black box (maybe using a separate switch to bypass it) i don't know how to go about this test safely though.
Anyway, thought it was time to get some advice, any help would be very welcome.
Thanks.
