I have a 1 1/8 h motor and when turning the speed up on the dial it goes pretty smooth. Turning it back to slower speed the last two inches or less turn harder. I can't figure what may be causing this. I replace the belt and no problems there far as I can see. Any ideas ??
Thanks,
Tom

Re: SPEED DIAL PROBLEM??
Oil the floating sheave.
Oil the control sheave.
Go slower.
The control sheave is squeezing the motor belt and the floating sheave must open up to relieve it.
It always is more difficult(harder to turn) going towards slow and more so the closer you get.
oh! The motor is running when doing this!
