Re: [bolger] Re: vacuum bagging and electric motor question
Checked the relay, appears to be fine. Tried a diferent start capacitor,
just hummed. Put the original capacitor back on, blasted thing kicked over
and is running fine!
I hate it when that happens. Starts working for no reason.
Maybe it was just stuck in place from sitting outside not running for years.
Some fittings for the old air hose, some solder, a couple of wire ties, now
have a nice powerful vacuum pump for bagging. Made up a fitting with a 3/4"
pvc ball valve, so I can pull most of the air out of the bag with a shop vac
then switch over to the compressor/vac.
Doen't appear to be that nessicicary though, the compressor setup pulles
decent volume already. Unless I'm bagging something big it should work fine
by itself.
I made my gaff solid out of "white wood", it's heavier than I would like. I
think I'm going to remake it birdsmouth, oversize it a bit.

capacitor phase shift to main run windings. Have you checked the
continuity of the relay contacts. You may have a bad relay.
Last night I vacuum bagged the forward sliding hatch for the CLC. Even with
a shop vac and a trash bag, got pretty decent results for a first try.
I'm converting the compressor from an old refriderator to a vacuum pump for
vacuum bagging parts for the Chebacco.
I bypassed the thermostatic switch on the starter relay, so it will start as
soon as it's plugged in.
I found an old yellowed and dirty wiring diagram by the compressor, as far
as I can tell it should work as wired.
When you plug it in the compressor starts and hums along merrily for about
two seconds, then there is a click inside the relay and the compressor
stops.
The ohms on the main winding of the motor is 2.5, like the schematic says it
should be.
Any thoughts? Suggestions of things to check?
