    Replacing septic tank motor

    I need to connect a replacement motor for a septic tank agitator. I've identified that the motor needs to be connected to a 4mf run capacitor but the wiring diagram (attached) looks strange.

Anyway, I'd like to be able to slow it down occasionally because it will knock you off balance to walk in front of it. *...

    Motor cap failed again

    I have a pressure washer that I got as part of "a good deal", actually an exceedingly good deal as I later found out. I've had it a while, I guess probably at least 25 years, but it doesn't get used all that often. Hard to say, but I reckon I've probably not done 200 hours with it in that time -...
