I was very happy when I heard it run. I knew it would turn over once you brought in the phase converter. I know you’ve mentioned that once they get going, that you have to watch them even after bleeding them because they may end up stalling again. Have you ever had one that you couldn’t break free?

Ray, there were two. One was the total meltdown burnout where the solder had melted out of the unloader. The other is probably in similar condition since the previous owner installed a Ranco thermostat which didn't include any overload protection. It stalled and then burned for an undetermined amount of time. Those two were not able to be re-activated. This one is still working perfectly two days later. |

That’s good to know. I’m glad it survived. So pretty much if the motor hasn’t been abused, they should be able to get freed up.
