I hope you have a meter...

and how come the limited amount of information to work w/ here???
help us out here...

do you have run capacitors???
how about start capacitors...
what's the saw's operating voltage???
did you check the line volts at the outlet at the switch and then the motor???
cord cap in good shape... wires secure in it's screws???
is the saw start switch mechanical or magnetic???
did you check to see if the on and off switch is in great shape??? as in power in.. power out...
and Don, you've been around long enough to have captured these PDF's not to mention read them...

.

if the PDF's were followed testing could have been done in the saw in short order and...........

I have run motors 20 years before the windings went, I didn't think you used the machine very much, this makes little sense.

chinese motors have been discovered to not have been continuous wound...
that aside...
Don should do his own bench testing and check his line voltages...
