I am currently in the process of retrofitting a CNC bench top lathe. When I received it the motor spun the correct direction. I stripped all of the old electronics out a few weeks ago. Today I hooked the motor up to test it and it turns the wrong way. I am certain I am just hooking it up wrong. I was wondering if anyone could help me with the correct way to hook it up. It has 4 wires ground (green), neutral (white), run coil? (black, 6 ohms), and the start coil? (red, 3 ohms). I think I may have the run and start coils mixed up and I am not entirely sure I hooked the start capacitor up correctly.
My current set-up:
Ground-->Ground
Neutral-->Neutral
Live-->Run Coil
Live-->Capacitor-->Start Coil
Any help would be appreciated.
