Clarke compressor problem
I have a clarke ranger 46 and the other day it just stopped working I found it had tripped its on board breaker so reset it and it tripped again without turning over so at first I thought maybe it had seized so took the cover off and turned it by hand and no problems turned over easy enough now I seem to be stuck with a compressor that wont compress not sure how to check the motor and/or capacitor as I am not electricly minded anyone got any suggestions
Thanks |

Not a compressor but I have a Clarke combi lathe/mill and when I got it the motor wouldn't run at all, contacted Machine Mart where I bought it from and they sent me a new motor within a couple of days. Its quite common with Clarke gear apparently.
