- Motor spinning too fast?
Hello everyone,
I have an old Hobart A200 mixer that I've rebuilt and the problem is the agitator shaft is spinning twice the rated speed when the motor comes up to speed. It has a repulsive induction motor. Speed 1 starts at about the rated 60 rpm but spins at about 120 when at running speed. Forget 3d third speed. Way too dangerous. There are 4 black unmarked wires. It's wired for 120v (See attached). Is there any possible way I may have wired it incorrectly and is there a way to identify which wire is which? Or is it a mechanical problem? Thanks,
