    Electric motor problems on dust extract

    Well I had the motor tested and its all OK, pulls 7amp when running. The weight take the start capacitor out when at full speed. I was also told that the motor should be wired into my shed circuit and not run through a plug. I am now making the alterations to do this.

    Electric motor problems on dust extract

    I made a major faux pas in stating my motor did not have a capacitor, it hidden from plain site, apologies. Having said that i now think that the capacitor is a run capacitor as the motor starts then blows the fuse. I have checked the capacitor and the wires run into the motor body. I will take...

    My first post and it's about LED lighting

    We had a switch years ago and we all left the light on at one time or another, going back to a wall switch will be a step back in time.

    hi/low beam led indicater issue

    First off what is your bike. I cant think of a bike that switches from dip to main going left or right. In doing so crossing the surly you would lose all lights for a split second. Most bikes you switch the lights on then there is a seperate switch for main/dip. I have just rewired my Trike...
