cool; I bought a new capacitor for $6.25, put it in and it worked. I'm back up and running again. Now I can begin to readdress getting it to cut straight.

Today I'm going to get a new starting capacitor and try it. When I turned
on the motor last night it hummed. I gave the pulley a little nudge and the
motor took off. I'm thinking the capacitor may have opened up from all the
heat. The paraffin from the capacitor housing puddled on the floor during
the episode.
There must be a thermal cutout in the motor because the same night I 'burned
it up', it didn't even hum when i turned it on afterward.
I'll let you know if that solves the problem. If not, I'll buy a new motor.
I have my eye on the Grizzly G2901 for $69.95. (I think I mentioned
before that Jet wanted $240 for a replacement motor; more than I paid for
the saw)
The information I've gotten off this list is awesome. I was going to go out
and buy a much more expensive saw, but now I'm motivated to make a good one
out of mine. :-)

Check Tractor Supply Co (TSC) They carry reasonably priced
replacement motors that will work.
