Capacitor start motor. Starts and runs in either direction as it pleases.
Capacitor good (replaced with others as test) 2 windings. Run winding
across line voltage, Start winding across line voltage with capacitor in
series. What determines rotating direction when starting?? This is on a
small Delta 9 inch bandsaw. Both windings ohm out OK.

Thanks for answers. Had removed one end bell and wire terminations are
enclosed in epoxy. No starting switch on this end. Will check other end
bell. Motor at friends house Will recheck. Thanks

NO start switch. ???

See if there is any torque during starting. I bet there is none and
little load, so it starts either direction at random. The circuit
to the starting winding is not being energized or the start capacitor
is open (but you said you checked this?).
