1956 greenie motor Wiring

Post by greg1m53 »

Someone was in the motor area, pulled all the wires off,
Just want to be sure they are in the right place
{don't want to be another oops}
The wires coming into the capacitor for the plug in, is the yellow hot or neutral?
it looks like it hooks up to the yellow on the starter switch on the motor?
Thanks for any help
Hey Rob Thanks for the info
Just wondering if the capacitor should get warm?

On my Greenie's GE motor with start relay, the white has yellowed and is connected to the neutral. It has lugs to allow it to be connected to the relay.

On my Greenie's GE motor with start relay, the white has yellowed and is connected to the neutral. It also connects to lug 3 on the start relay.
