Followup to my Husky compressor I was whining about... The motor was fine. I finally got the courage and time to disassemble and there was a contactor that energizes I think to switch it over from the start capacitor to the run capacitor. I think. Some light sanding and it's good as new.

Anyways, life lesson is, let it arc awhile, let it rub, let it squeal, let it leak. Then when you go to fix it 2 months later it's easy to find the shiny/burned/oily spot.


If the switch is like the 220v, it's Chinese crap. I didn't trust it from day one. I use a circuit breaker as the on/off switch on my Husky. The box and breaker cost $15. I just leave the Chinese switch "On".
