Thanks to everyone for comming back. Most helpful. It looks as though I could save $30 and spend a week cleaning up the mess.
Will heed the advice and get an appropriate motor.
thanks again.
Thanks for comming back.
I plan to use the motor on a small lathe and it will run for short periods of time at heavy loads (which still should not tax a 1/2 horse motor) and longer periods say 15 minutes with little or no load.
Will this be a problem?
Let me but in here. I was not the one who raised the Q.
There are 3 wires on my motor, red, white and blue. The red and blue are connected to a 4 terminal capacitor. The other 2 terminals on the capacitor go to a control board. I am trying to salvage a motor from a garage door opener.
