[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 657990, member: 3960"] I have a little 185W single phase motor that does a very nice job of running the tumbler through a little 15:1 gear box. The only problem is that it needs a nudge to start. [ATTACH type="full"]6264[/ATTACH] I decided that it needed a capacitor to get it cranked up so last night after the 41°C had backed off a bit I went out and wired in a capacitor. Now it starts instantly and I thought all was fixed but that's not the case. It doesn't have a start capacitor disconnect so it very quickly runs too hot. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
