A little bit of rewiring and Steff will be fine!
A little birdie told me.............
What kind of rewiring are we talking about here. Id be interested to know?
He got it running temporarily. He was turning it on through the original switch which is on the motor leads. Since he has a 2 hp drive with a 2 hp motor (nothing wrong with that) you can't switch the motor onto the drive.
He needs to wire the motor directly to the drive and then either put a small toggle switch in to run the drive or rewire the existing switch into the drive controls to stop/start and fwd/rev.
