BTW Bob,
A maintenance person can be as smart or as dumb as they come, unfortunately, it's the dumb ones that tar the rest with the same brush.
I'm not looking to insult you at all, but why is the term "Maintenance" often associated with the lesser respected term "Handyman"?
I have no idea what your trying to say here.
In my parts 'Maintenance Mechanics' are usually very skilled at the jobs they do, most are not simply untrained handymen.
All I was trying to say is when given somewhat unusual information you should take it with a grain of salt.
Many times 'eye wittinesses' are mistaken.
IMO if your not bringing an instrument that can determine the actual RPM of the motor shaft you are wasting your time.
I have a hard time believing this motor is somehow over speeding regardless of the high tech theories offered here.
It seems more like likely that it is coming up to full rated speed than slowing down to a lesser speed.
Bob
