Unfortunately I'm still having motor problems... I was told this motor
had an internal wired capacitor, but when it showed up, the capacitor
was obviously external... Not to mention rattling around lose in the
box with a big dent in it. I assume that came from the motor hitting
it. You'd think getting a basic small motor wouldn't be such a pain in
the butt, but this is the third one I've tried.

There's four wires that they originally had going into a connector.
Red and blue on one side, green and white on the other. I have a power
cord going into a box with a on/off toggle... How can I wire this up?
And is a dented capacitor a problem? It looks to still be sealed.

Thanks for any help,

Dave

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
All that means is the smoke hasn't leaked out YET.

dent may or may not be a problem - just test the cap with an ohmmeter for a
quick check - if it is OK, then maybe the dent won't be a problem

I'd be inclined to connect red and blue to the cap - do any of the leads
have terminals on the ends that match the cap?

Nope... All the leads go into a plug that must have connected into box.

Figured it out... The guy that sold it sent me a diagram. Thanks for
the help.
