Every now and then the motor just groans when I switch it on and have to have to spin in by hand to get it going. As of yesterday I have to do it each time I flip the on switch. The lathe is a Canadian Tire 37" jobbie (with the ugly yellow tailstock tensioner). Sounds like this motor has had it or can something be oiled/cleaned or whatever? In the instruction book it mentions you need to oil it every now and then but I'll be darned if I can see where. Suggestions greatly appreciated, Bart.
