hi cam ,& welcome to the forum. your electrical problem could be as simple as replacing your start cappacitor. i have bought various electrical powered units from the auction rooms that dont run, ive had a lot of luck with caps , mind you one of my mates is a sparky.caps are cheap if they fix your problem. but dont try any fixes without professional advice/assistance.
lottsa luck johnno.
