RE: Need help with Ashland motor and capacitor

This is only an educated guess based upon working on my ROK this weekend. Use any of this information at your own risk.

Cap should be (must be) non-polar so connect it either way.
Motor should be 2 Phase?????
Have you taken resistance measurements of the windings? 2 independent windings? My Phase 1 winding was about half the resistance of my Phase 2 winding.

Getting the manufacturer's info on the motor would be preferred but here's the guess:
Blue and Red to AC Neutral.
Black to AC Hot (If Black is Phase 1)
Green to Cap to AC Hot (If Green is Phase 2)
