Couple of years ago my son bought a large garage with what looks to be a fairly new air compressor in it that has never worked.. Finally decided to take a look at it. Visual inspection showed a bad start capacitor. Replaced it and it started and ran with a lot of sparks from the internal starter switch. Took it apart and found the seal on the shaft bearing was bad and had been allowing grease to get on the starter switch and melt the points. Its a Century motor and I have no problem finding the bearing, but I cant find the starter switch on the net. Maybe I'm calling it by the wrong name because all I can find are what I call contactors. Any one know where I can find the switch that goes inside the motor.?
