Yes please check you capacitors ( condensers) in the mot because they go bad like the ones used in a magneto. Please remove on lead from the circuit to avoid false readings! Testing with a meter is also not “under load” test, only face value. The newer capacitors have thinner & better insulators making them much more better performers. I’m feelin good enough to start a new patent again, Had West Nile, Covid & C-Diff all in a row. lucky to still be breathing!

A darlington transistor is two built into one. It uses a very small signan to turn on a second  which handles that handles the load.
