Yes, Rich brings up a good point. The most common winding failure is that the
insulation on the windings fail (usually Field windings), causing the Field to
be grounded to the motor frame. One of the most common and basic tests for
suspected bad motors is to simply measure the resistance from
Induction motors that lack torque can usually be traced to an open field coil
or an open armature loop. A shorted turn will eat torque but the motor will
let you know by getting hot. How about a photo of the motor? Most good motor
shops can fix anything from fractional horsepower to 100 HP.

Check the resister. If its value is too big the motor will slow down
under load.
