I wonder if it's a cap run motor (PSC) that reverses?

N

it has a capacitor start and a high and low speed,it seems to not have
that extra boost on start up.i am trying to get my scanner going to
post the diagram.what should the output reading be from the capacitor
to motor because i am getting just 120volt should it be more? thanks
mike



That won't tell you anything, you need a different phase to the starting
winding to get the motor going and you can't measure phase difference with a
multimeter. Check the timer mechanism for burned contacts, and check the
starting switch on the motor, messing with the capacitor you're just wasting
your time.
