I have a Leland 6273 3 phase 240 V motor I am trying to figure out how to

It has 6 black wires coming out of the motor.


Is there any practical way using a meter to determine which wires to pair
up
to connect to 3 connections on the VFD?

I would use the ohm meter function first to get a better idea of what
you have. I suspect you have three windings with both ends of each
winding brought out. That would allow you to connect it as either star
or delta.

Well, a quick check doesn't seem to be the case. Get about 20 ohms between
any two of three wires and 2 ohms between any 2 of the other three.

A start winding and a run winding? Which one is which?
I would guess the lower impedance (higher load) would be the run winding.

Will putting a start timer relay on the start winding do anything funny to
the VFD when it disconnects if that's the case?
