Sold!!

Nah, it's getting parted out or tossed. Bought a brand new machine very pleased with it so far.

Good choice

Buy a quality brand and you shouldn't have to worry too much about them becoming obsolete soon. But if you decide to buy, be sure to buy the latest technology to help ensure this. As others have said, you will be quite surprised at the power. I run a Dewalt 20v hamner drill/driver, 1/4" hex...

Okay guys, I've got a burned up Wissota E7 P grinder that I'm parting out. Windings are fried, but I think everything else is good. I would like to sell wheel guards and tool rests as a set, but If there aren't any takers I guess I will piece it out. below are some pics, PM me if you are...

Well since mine is burned up, I have most all the parts if anyone is interested. If interested PM me. I will most likely post in the classifieds once I disassemble it and get photos.

Well unfortunately it looks like it's too far gone. The new start cap did not fix it, so I opened her up to check the centrifugal switch and this is what I found.

I haven't tried spinning it by hand. Your explanation makes perfect sense and those symptoms are exactly what I'm experiencing. I'll replace the cap tonight and see what happens. Thanksfor the replies.

So if the cap is bad, will that cause the centrifugal switch to not function correctly? I've got a new cap being delivered today and if I need to get inside to the switch I want to do it while changing the cap.

After some research, it appears to be a start capacitor. The numbers on it 124-149 bring web results for it.

So I've found the switch on this grinder seems fine, as well as the power cord. I'm getting full voltage at the switch on both terminals when running (or trying to) I also noticed the motor cover getting very warm with only a little time trying to get it to get up to speed. Here's a shot under...

I'm hoping to get some time this week to take it off the pedestal and look it over. I don't remember if there were capacitors in this one. I think it had a contact switch in one of the housing cones though. I'm no expert on these motors though.

That's where I first asked, but seemed more of a show off your grinder post rather than repair. Thanks though.

I piggybacking another post asking about this and realized starting my own thread was appropriate. I've got a technical question. I picked up this E7-P about a year and a half ago. Needed bearings, got that fixed and it's been awesome since. Week back I noticed it was taking much longer to get...

Circuit is fine, do these grinders use start or run capacitors? I don't remember if I saw any when I had it apart. Could a faulty on/off switch be to blame?

Since it seems that all the Wissota pros are here, ive got a technical question. I picked up this E7-P about a year and a half ago. Needed bearings, got that fixed and it's been awesome since. Week back I noticed it was taking much longer to get started than before. It also was drawing more...

Sorry, I thought the concern was that it was leaking down overnight while not in use.

I should probably add that the pump saver is most beneficial for those of us who don't use their machines every day. If the unit may see a few weeks or more between uses, it will absolutely extend the life of the pump.

The pump saver works as an antifreeze and a lubricant to keep internal parts from rusting and corroding after use. There will be water left in the pump after use that if left alone will rust and or corrode the internal parts. Take a pump apart after maybe a year that hasn't used the saver and...

This is because no one uses a pump lubricant after use. Briggs and stratton pump saver is what I use after every use of the sprayer. Works like a charm.
