Figure I should update this in case anyone has the same trouble. Phil came over a couple weeks ago and within a couple of minutes found a couple of loose wires at the bottom of the mag switch. Reconnected them and up and running.... my shop is small and I have to move this every time I use it, so I am guessing the constant movement and then dropping it (gently) on the floor, probably exacerbated the problem.
Thanks Phil!
Was using my jointer and went to turn it on and all I got what a clunk from the switch and a faint hum from the motor. Spoke with grizzly and replaced the capacitor (twice) and the centrifugal switches. Same result. The motor spins freely when I spin it by hand, but I cannot get it to start if I turn the power on and try to spin it. I did spend a lot of time with the grizzly tech and a multi meter testing all the parts of the switch, so that checked out.
I am at a loss, and grizz is out of ideas. So it's either take it to a shop, or buy a new motor, which grizz will sell me for $295. Not sure I want to buy another one of these as this one only lasted 8 years.
Before I randomly pick a motor shop in Raleigh I figure with all the experience here at ncww someone has had a similar problem, and or can recommend a repair shop. Thanks in advan
