Thanks for all your help. I will try the compressed air from my
compressor tomorrow. I had used a small can of air but I do not think
it did a great job. Higher pressure air might do the job.

I am not sure what the centrifical switch looks like. Can anyone
describe it or where it is located on the motor? I looked at the part
sheet for the motor on Sear's web site but it does not list a part
called a cetrifical switch.

The centrifugal switch is inside the motor. It isn't surprising that they
don't list it in the parts diagram.
An electric motor repair place would be your best bet to find the correct
part.

What the switch does is disconnect the start winding when the motor gets up
to about 75% full speed.

If this switch is does not engage, then the motor will not start with
external aid (which might be a bit dangerous).
If the capacitor is bad, the motor will not start either.
