I did a quick test with the bottom panel off and it ran great, so I installed the bottom panel, re bolted the sander to the table and I am back in business. One thing to note, the parts received were exact replacements, not cheap substitutes, buy with confidence.

Determined that relay designed to drop out starting capacitor, after belt sander motor was started, didnGÇÖt isolate the start capacitor from the run circuit. Replacing relay and capacitor solved the problem.
