  Followed recommendations of other reviews in purchasing a new capacitor instead of trying to re-use the old one. Would definitely recommend doing it this way as it is very fiddley to remove the original from the switch without damaging it. Products works as required and the once dead lawnmower is alive again!

  unless you have a means to test the capacitor it is always advisable to fit a new capacitor when changing the switch

    Espares were of no help so for the benift of others the live feed in goes in the holes where the screwa are, wires from switch out to the bottom holes and capscitor into the top holes on the same side. Simples.

    Hi, Have you checked the main switch on the handle - they are very vulnerable to water ingress and then seize up. Has it been rained on ??

• Q Wiring Information. 1 Answer

  I have bought a new switch and capacitor for a Flymo Vision Compact 350 but there is no wiring diagram.I need to know the postion of the capacitor and switch wiring?

    the capacitor is there to build up a charge to supply a direct current pulse to the motor to start it spinning .the alternating mains current then keeps it spinning without the capacitor the motor will make a buzzing noise but wont start .i suggest you open the switch housing inthe centre of the handle and study the old wiring -take a photo or make a sketch i think you will find the capacitor in that assembly but i have not needed to explore that one yet

• Q flymo micro lite motor running slow and overheating all is clean and free running what is the cause 1 Answer

  By johnh1935 - 26 June 2011

  • A

    i would suspect motor windings shorting between windings effectively reducing the number of windings and allowing more current to pass as fewer windings have less resistance -the excess current will produce more heat and the slower revolutions less cooling so motor will overheat and burn out the probable cause is that at some stage the microlite has been overloaded and caused motor to run hot causing a partial burning of windings insulation which is only a form of shellac covering on the wires
