Let's see, the last time I was in my McGraw Hill, EE Handbook, 1 HP at unity power factor was 741 watts. Sooooo 10 HP would be 7140 watts.
Down heah, the line voltage for AC single phase, which most homes are wired for is 120V, give or take. Sooo 7410/120 comes out to 62 amperes on my calculator.
"Beins" most household AC receptacles are designed for 15 to 20 amperes, being wired with # 14 for the former or #20 AWG for the later, I think when you plugged in your 10 hp fan you just blew the breaker out of the breaker box.
Oh you say, I used the Air Cond. receptacle??????? You did? Okaye, now you have a 31 amp max possibility at 240V, which is over 2 tons for a window unit or went outside and had yourself a long extension cord....for that and any length would require at least a #8 with ground, and you had a power adapter to connect to where you disconnected the customer's AC unit and plugged in your fan!!!!!!!!! But did you have a universal adapter?
Where did you go to find the leaks? Did you set the house on fire and check for smoke exiting.
It's currently 1:14 PM down here in N. Texas and I am as sober as a judge.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
