My Trojan Runx treadmill on start up is slow to get to speed and when i climb on while at speed you can hear it losing speed.

There could be a few possible reasons for your Trojan Runx treadmill to have this issue:
  1. Belt tension: The treadmill belt may not be tight enough, causing it to slip and lose speed. You can adjust the belt tension by using an Allen wrench to tighten the bolts at the back of the treadmill.
  2. Motor: The motor may be overheating and shutting off, causing the treadmill to slow down. You can check the motor by opening up the motor cover and looking for any signs of burning or overheating.
  3. Motor brushes: The motor brushes may be worn out and need replacing. This can cause the motor to run slower and eventually shut off.
  4. Power supply: The power supply to the treadmill may be insufficient, causing it to lose speed. Make sure the treadmill is plugged into a dedicated circuit and not sharing power with other appliances.
If you're unsure about how to diagnose or fix any of these issues, it's recommended to contact a qualified technician or the manufacturer for assistance.

Jigsaw heating up and losing power.

Motor is heating up because too much power is entering the unit. That will happen when the motor is NOT spinning at correct speed. This can be accounted for by using it for a job it was not untended for or excessive friction in the motor bearings.

You may have already permanently damaged the windings where on some of them the plastic insulation has melted and the wires now touch each other resulting in a lower than normal resistance, more current consumption and less back emf.

Unless that motor is binding, I believe you have damaged the motor - cannot be fixed but only replaced. Sorry.

Why did I lose power to scrubber

Your motor just burned up. There was probably a burning, electrical smell too, right ? You are done with this machine. Buy a F5914 Hoover and your troubles will be over. For a second opinion, take it to a vacuum repair shop.

Loosing oil no leak no smoke coming from exhaust

there`s only 2 ways to lose oil. one is a leak somewhere from the motor the other is the motor is burning oil. just because you don`t see smoke doesn`t mean its not burning oil. you don`t say how much oil your losing between oil changes. if its only about 1/1.5 litres between oil changes then this is a normal lose which means its burning slightly.
