[ex 2 Base]

That burnt winding is /was the start winding and the motor is single phase. As there is no load on the grinder on start up, so a capacitor wasn't needed or fitted. The same pedestal was used on 3 phase motors. As Kevin above says, it is costly to have a motor rewound. If you are brave you can wind a length of cord around one of the spindles and give it a pull then quickly switch the supply, over the top way first. A bit doggy, so be very careful. Perhaps the moderator might delete. ted
