Yeah, it's called "using Bodine motors" - These Bodines just don't have the starup torque as does some other motors do, especially like the Leeson motors.
What happens when Bodines get tired and get some age on them, they begin to heat up and the thermal inside opens up causing this shutdown. Then, you have to wait for the cooldown for the thermal closes to continue operation.
If this happens too frequently, time for a motor changeout to replace that thermal fuse inside.
I went through a good half dozen Bodines on P35GPS machines with this same problem.
Also, this is a good warning tip to anyone who uses any Bodine motor on any projector, for I even had Bodines, mounted on Simplex 5-star heads do this shutdown.
Oughta check into Leesons for reference sakes if these are manufactured for the Christie series.
