@Jo Reid Most likely the problem is that the JR just can't handle centering 20 pounds of clay. If it's running fine with smaller amounts of clay, that's the problem. Usually if there's an issue with a wheel it will appear regardless of the amount of clay. The horsepower should be listed on the serial plate of the motor.

Thanks for answering the questions regarding the max amount of clay.  The wheel runs pretty good with other  amounts of clay.

So, I turned the wheel over and can see the motor, the only characters on the motor are the number 122.  It may have been a replacement motor. Can you decipher what 122 might mean?

Ans -  this wheel only truns  clock-wise.  Is that normal for this wheel?

Thanks  so much for your help - I've spent hours trying to find that answer on the web.

I have a very old Creative Industries Model JR. I am experiencing the latency in start up and slow down and the wheel struggles with over 20# of clay. So I have two questions:   Is this problem the nature of the wheel or can it be fixed?  What is the HP for the KR. 

 Also, I have an extra splash pan for the JR - willing to supply to anyone in need.
