There are some fine adjustments that need to be made with the machine because it’s not as smooth as it should be, and maybe I just need to oil it more than I have since it’s been dry for who knows how long, but the motor has issues to. I took the belt completely off the machine and ran the motor without the belt and it’s spotty, and bogged down. It’s makes a whizzing noise that’s not normal and sometimes even more towards grinding. It doesn’t spin at full speed either, and as it ran it got slower and slower and slower. Almost to a full stop. It also has that old electrical burnt smell.
