I got the motor back up and running.
One pair of wires coming out goes to the starting circuit the other pair goes to the run circuit.
I just had to use my ohm meter to make sure that what I assumed was correct.
By swapping the wires that go to the starting capacitor you can change direction of the motor.
The stator has two sets of winding one is the run set the other is the start set.
By firing off the start set it bumps the motor in what ever direction you want.
Once the motor is up to speed it has a centrifugal switch that shuts that circuit off.
If you have a motor at home that clicks after you shut it off this is the switch clicking back on.
If you hit the reverse switch before that click the motor will continue to rotate in the direction is was going without reversing.
There are a lot of different kinds of motors this is just the single phase induction motor.
Looking in the old manual this was assumed to be known by everyone at the time.
They didn't even show a diagram.
If you look on instructions today it just says connect colored wires to terminals so and so.
They dont explain what is going on.
I like to know what is going on and why.
I will make the motor reversible because of sanding purposes and I have the switch to do it.
