Quick story on my new compressor motor.... bought on Ebay from China for around 200-250 bucks. It didn't work. I shoulda' known better...
With the tank empty it'd start and run. Once full, it wouldn't start. Seller didn't want to refund my money. We went round and round for weeks.... it actually got kinda ugly (on his part). The day before I could file a claim with Ebay he finally refunded my money.... jerk.
When I took the motor off and set it on the ground (none to lightly) I hear that familiar "tink" of the centrifugal switch engaging. Hmmm....
Pulled it apart and sure enough, the machining inside the switch was pretty rough, causing it to bind. Cleaned that up and it's worked great ever since. I thought about re-paying the seller, but after he resorted to name calling.... eff 'im.
