Julius, if the motor is fine, and lugging or running slowly, then it's likely that you're not getting enough voltage to it. A too long extension cord, too many other appliances pulling power from the same circuit... and so on.

If the power supply is good, then it's time to get the motor load tested.

Cheers,

Bill
