Mike,

Thanks for the response. I measured the resistance across the 3 different wire combinations. Here is what I got:

black - green: 247 ohms
green - blue/red: 46 ohms
black - blue/red: 197 ohms

I contacted ashland and they said they do not have the wiring schematics, so I am out of luck in that regard.

I tried connecting the 3 AC wires to each possible capacitor and motor wire combination. Each time, the fuse tripped. So, something is going wrong. The motor spins freely, so I doubt it is a mechanical issue.

Any thoughts?

Pat
