I'm in the market for a 3 hp motor. So, I went by my local shop that sells and repairs motors. I found a sign posted on the wall that I thought I would share with you. I mean, it makes perfect sense, and explains a lot. Don't you agree?
Notice to all Customers
Contrary to popular belief, motors do not run on electricity. They run
on smoke. All motors are precharged with smoke at the factory. The
electricity is required to keep the smoke inside. Once the smoke
gets out, the motor is no good...
