It's been just a few degrees above zero here lately. Garage is unheated.
I turned on an old 1 hp motor yesterday. 220V 1 ph. It is capacitor start.
It wanted to start then quit. Started then quit - several times. So I shut it off.
Could the cold temps be affecting the capacitor somehow and making it so it won't run? It turned on and ran fine when I last used it. Was about 30 degrees then.
