transformer has been working perfectly for weeks now and I did find out why it got hot in the first place. Belt tension. Turns out the belt is loose so the first time it turns on in the morning, it spins just fine but then the belt tension makes the motor work harder. The belt does heat up and the whole thing runs fine the rest of the day but it's that first fill in the morning that does it, you can hear the belt screech about 1 minute into the tank fill and the motor starts to lug. Tensioned the belt and drained oil and put new in and it's like new.
Thanks again for all the help!
