Josok=2C


It may be that not all Woodcomps meet the same safety specs and quality con
trol. Yours didn't have end switches. Is it not possible to confirm this fr
om the wreck ?

Dave Miller had endless problems with his SR2000=2C paid a fortune in shipp
ing and 'repair' costs=2C and ended up throwing it away. Support was hopele
ss.

Can anyone xplain why two motors failed after a few hours=2C or can anyone 
tell me what the rpm limit is for these motors=2C which are stamped with th
e name Johnson ?
