Hi,
Check the wire size to the machine...if you are running on 110v and a 1-1/2 hp motor you should have at least 10 ga wire running to it...if not when you try to make it work and it pulls more current the small wire chokes down the voltage and you loose power..

I am a master Electrician and the wire size is not the problem. For one thing #12 wire would be fine. 2nd thing this come with #14 gu wire. As per the code this is ok as long it is not over 3"
Your motor is having problems. Not because of as heatman said "small wire chokes down the voltage and you loose power" If you was say 100' away then yes but not what you have. You need a new motor. Sorry!
Sorry 3' not 3" hit wrong key! LOL
