Blowing fuse

It does sound like a faulty start capacitor.
I bought a pair of capacitors from Capacitor shop

Worth a try

If it’s a 3hp motor I had to buy a new one for one of my compressors, the cheapest I could find at the time was from machine mart, but they’ve gone up in price.

Maybe wait for one of their vat free sales which seem to come up often, and as mentioned check the shaft size.
Worth fixing even at that price if you know the pump is good.

Most of the 3 hp belt-drive compressors I've encountered use 90-frame 2-pole motors, which have 24mm shafts, and the single-phase motors are capacitor-start, capacitor-run.

I have a couple of motors but they are both 28mm shaft and 4 pole so not a replacement for yours, sorry.

That's the one am probably going to buy, I had alot of help from bourbon, he also pointed out you get 15% off when downloading the app. Anyone know roughly the oil capacity of the pump? No easy to see the level through the glass. Going to change the oil at the same time. Cheers

Did some digging. 0.4 litres for the pump capacity. I phoned your local place. I got the guy to put his hand physically on it. So it's defiantly there!
