The usual problem with Hobbymat motors is a failure of the centrifugal switch or capacitor. We sell the correct capacitor and a set of detailed dismantling instructions for £21 + post (+ VAT in the UK and EU) that allows the motor to be converted to a much better "cap-start-cap-run" configuration - full instructions provided. The conversion allows the motor to start without the need for the troublesome centrifugal switch.
