I've got an Emerson K55HX motor (1/3 hp), I pulled it from a blower when the low speed went out.
But time has passed, and I can't figure out the wiring.
White, black - seems obvious.
Two brown - I figure that's for a starting cap.
Red, orange, blue - speed control? I don't know.
And is this motor reversable?
I just want to make it run at high speed.
Or, and for some reason I think it should be a 5 MFD cap, no?
EDIT: The faceplate say 5 MFD, so that's were I got that. AND the RPM is listed as 1750/4SPD, so that would mean all those wires are for lower speeds, no?
