Hi Mjcmt,
I checked the library at Vinylengine. There is no service manual. There is an owners manual. From that I was not able to determine if the motor is a shaded pole or a two phase motor with a phase shifting motor run capacitor. If it is a two phase motor with a run cap check the connections to the cap as well as the motor. If the cap is missing and the motor starts at all it is just as likely to start backwards. The motor run cap is in series with one of the motor leads. A capacitor across the power switch is to suppress switch arcing and has nothing to do with the motor starting.
