So I'm sharpening the chainsaw chain on my Stihl chainsaw sharpener when all of a sudden the motor slows down and stops. Turning off and on again the motor either runs really slowly , or just sits there and hums. Electric motors not really my area of expertise. Am I right in thinking its likely to be the capacitor. This is quite an old piece of equipment , but really high quality ( a new one online is £700) so I'd rather fix it than scrap it and get a new plastic one from Lidl's. Thanks in advance for any advice. The dent by the way is just in a cover over the connections , not the capacitor itself.
