Help VPI SDS Issue

I took the plunge and got the SDS. Wow what a difference but I am having an issue. (I am using the 600 rpm motor) In order to get the motor to spin the platter I have to push it to start it moving. The motor is on but it sound like to is hesistating. I unplugged the SDS and no issue it starts right away. Is this an issue with the 600 vs 300 motor?

This is not a problem with the motor. Just give the platter a bit of a push with your thumb to get it started. If it bothers you, you could re-talc the belt. (A bit of talcom powder in a pastic bag, drop the belt in the bag, shake, then reinstall the belt.) You will achieve yet another level of sonic improvement by upgrading to the 300 rpm motor.

You can find out by simply bypassing the SDS and again plugging the motor directly into your AC outlet. See if you get a different result.
