Is it possible to reverse the start of a motor?
These motors have relatively low starting torque. To reverse the motor you have to disconnect and reverse both ends of the start winding. One end is now connected to one of the power leads and the other end to the capacitor. Switch these two. Seeing what you have already done, this should be no problem for you.
What happens when the timing belt breaks on an outboard motor?
With an interference engine, in order for a valve to open the piston has to be on its way down, and that does happen when all the timing is linked in normally. But if a timing belt should break, then the Pistons will keep coming up and down but the valve to stop.
Why does an electric motor run backwards, cap OK?
If there is no centrifugal switch, then the function is being done by an external device called a “potential relay” that is looking at the back emf of the motor to decide when to switch out the start cap. But he same holds true, it is likely failing open. Thanks for the suggestion.
Can a centrifugal switch cause an electric motor to fail?
If your electric motor uses a centrifugal switch to cut out the “start” capacitor once the motor is up to speed, a failure of that switch can cause motor failure. Make a visual inspection of the switch, normally at the rear or “bell housing” end of the motor.
When to replace a belt due to misalignment?
Inspect and replace all accessories / pulleys that are difficult to rotate (i.e. rough/seized bearings), or show excessive wobble / free rock Warning: Any existing misalignment condition probably caused pre-mature wear of the belt ribs on the old belt. A new belt is recommended once the accessory drive has been realigned.
Is it normal for the timing belt to be off?
No, that’s not normal. It should be just as smooth and quiet as before. It’s possible that the timing belt is off by a tooth. It’s quite possible they forgot to tighten or to put back altogether, one of the motormounts connections. Ask them to doublecheck on that. “they told me this is normal and takes time to settle down.
Why do I have to replace my deck belt every year?
A very common question out there is, “Why am I replacing belts every year?” First you should not be having to replace belts every year or more in one year. Below are some tips on things to look for before replacing that third belt this season. The most common problem with deck belts is excessive grass clipping on the deck.
When is it time to replace your car belt?
When inspecting the belts look for signs of cracking, missing ribbing, marring, striping, general brittleness or uneven wear. If you see any of these signs it means that it is time to replace them with a fresh belt.
