PO507 low idle - looks like a few simple things could cause it. Get...

    Variable Speed Electric Motor / Voltage Regulator

    Thoughts on which one of these has the best chance pf actually solving the problem. The second one showing a max output of 3.5a makes me a bit nervous as the motor specs I have state 6.5a at 220v. ~$300 gamble either way...

    Variable Speed Electric Motor / Voltage Regulator

    Prob about 50% or more...it's scary how fast it is now. We havent even put the horses on it yet....maybe the VFD is the better route? I only have 120v tho. Something like this?

    Variable Speed Electric Motor / Voltage Regulator

    lol - ya, long story but the original failed and my wife had someone "fix" it with a new rear-end...gear ratio way off now.

    Variable Speed Electric Motor / Voltage Regulator

    Here is the setup - time to start looking for a pully i guess...what type of puller would I use to remove it? (after removing the clip) - looks like a normal automotive pulley remover will work

    Variable Speed Electric Motor / Voltage Regulator

    Variable Speed Electric Motor / Voltage Regulator

    Anyone have experience with getting a large electric motor to work with a voltage regulator? I'm trying to find something that lets me throttle down the speed on this motor...i purchased a cheap one on Amazon to prove it would work, which it does, but it's cheap and not rated for enough amps. I...
