My Chester Crusader 230v lathe is having some issues!!
It starts up, runs fine, but occasionally, (maybe one time in ten/twenty), when stopping, it makes a "pop" noise.
It is a definite "pop", just as the motor stops.
I was told it was a run capacitor going bad, i changed this and the "pop" was still happening!
I traced the noise to the start capacitor, after popping the cover off and with it hanging free, i could see flashes from the top of the body, (where the wires enter).
Now, i'm not a sparky by trade, so i'm asking!!
What's the most likely cause?
Thank you
Jim
