You are too funny! I have an outlet strip with a surge protector attached to my workbench. We have lift off! The motor fired right up.
I haven't been able to attach the flywheel yet as plans changed for the day and I have a little grandson here now, so I am in thinking mode rather than doing mode.
I am going to have to work out another little thing. When I went to crimp on my connectors I found the lamp had been re-wired with 16 ga. (wasn't me!) Now terminal 3 where the motor and the lamp wires both attach is a little too crowded and the screw down doesn't want to tighten more than halfway.
Hmm options are, re-wire the lamp with 18 gauge wire. (I don't love that one!) How about I carefully file down the thickness of the insulation just a hair more than enough and then put a bit of heat shrink over it to make it equal in size to the 18 gauge? It would just have to be for that last eighth of an inch where it exits the terminal.
What do you think?
