Was ripping a 12inch board and the motor slowed down and then stopped. (had a little smoke then a small spark). Its a Ryobi BT3000. It will start to run but slow..Ryobi 10 inch, #051662 9835.
Sounds like the run capacitor has given up. Or, maybe the worst is it overheated and burned the motor winding. You'll probably have to take it apart. If there is a smoked capacitor, that's probably the one you should replace. If the winding is scorched, might as well get a new motor. If both are the case, then replace the capacitor before you give up on the winding.
