I have an old Sears oiled air compressor that has been serving me quite well until a few days ago. The motor buzzes but will not spin. I thought for sure it would be the starter capacitor. I ordered a new one and just finished installing it, but no go. It still buzzes. It isn't locked up. I can spin the drive assembly by hand. If I turn it on and spin it by hand a bit I can get it running. I tried bypassing the pressure and power switches and get the same problem.
Anyone have any ideas?
