I need some help! I bought a used Sears 10" RAS(probably 80's model), but it is having a problem with the blade starting. I turn the power switch on and sometimes the blade will get going and other times the lights dim and there is a hum from inside the motor and the blade does not move.
When it makes the hum noise, you can give the blade a quick turn with a push stick and it will get the blade moving up to speed and will do fine. I have already replaced the start capasitor and it did not help. Are there any other suggestions besides taking it to a motor shop?
I am willing to spend a little more on it since it looks like it has had little use and I only paid $50 for the saw, plus $15 for the capasitor.
Thanks!
