The start capacitors are known to go bad on those, I am betting that's the issue almost certainly. You mentioned The blade moving about 1/2 to 1" that's a text book capacitor issue.

I would say 99.9% thats the problem.

Just buy both the start and run capacitors at once and save on shipping.

If you give us your make of saw we can link you to the parts.

And make sure you order the capacitors and NOT the capacitor covers, it's an easy mistake to make.

Thsts a mistake, it can void your warranty(another company opening or even testing the motor that is).

Well that stinks, hopefully you get a new motor. That motor cost about 265.00.

You know I have my fear or repair ships, I would of changed the capacitors myself first before bringing it in, but thats me, I guess I dont trust.

That blade moving 1" and stopping sure doesn't sound like a wiinding issue, that is textbook starter capacitor issue. I had the EXACT issue. And seeing how those Jet motors have a 25% capacitor failure rate I am very surprised, hard to believe really. I have run motors 20 years before the windings went, I didn't think you used the machine very much, this makes little sense.

I just hope you get your new motor that's all that matters.
