Well, There is a wire connected to Common. There are a couple connected
to a capacitor to start the motor, as well.


Are those 2 enough Scott, assuming something gives the motor a push to
get it started?

If you don't have the wiring diagram for the motor (which should have come with it),
and you don't have one in the installation instructions for the compressor, or you
don't have the electrical experience to understand what should be connected to what
in a 240VAC 30+ amp branch circuit, you probably shouldn't be doing it without someone
to check your work before you attempt to energize the circuit.
