I have a problem with my Pyramid (Taylor Made) D-Icer. It only hums and won`t start, but if i give the propeller a spin, it rotate and goes fine. The shaft IS a little bit hard to turn. I have cleaned the centrifugal switch and changed oil at the sealant "room" near where the shaft (and propel) stick out.
I have changed the capacitor. With a voltmeter there is almost no voltage coming to the capacitor, so I starting to think that the problem could be the start winding? I am afraid of take it more apart, since I am able to use it with the start problem; I could just let it go continuous, but it would be nice to get it fixed. The main fright i have of taking it more apart is that I don't know how to keep the brushes apart when I install the rotor back again.
The wiring IS a little black, but I got it to start just ONE time after I changed the capacitor, so I hope it can be the brushes. I don't think it is the bearing, but maybe.
There is also an umbaco 7 mm screw that is impossible to get out, but if anybody have any idea, I`ll go for it
Anyone have done this before or have any advice, it would be appreciated
