FUBAR'ed compressor motor
OK time to get off the pot! My compressor’s motor packed it in a few months ago. Started by occasionally throwing the breaker but now won’t start at all. Need some good links for electric motor testing for dummies. Never been much of a “sparky” but I know some of yous guys can volt and ohm with the best of em. If it matters it’s a 150 PSI, 5.5 HP, 30 gallon Sears, upright POS. Motor and compressor are one unit 
Might be time to buy a real one... seems these don't last more than 3 or 4 years.
