Dual voltage single phase six lead motor. Each lead has a number marking on it. #1, #2, #3, #4, no #5, but there is a purple wire in the bundle and finally #8. Want CW rotation, high voltage wiring, Wired L1 to lead #1, Wired L2 to leads #4 and the purple wire which should be lead #5. Joined leads 2 & 3 & 8. #1 and #2 leads are connected to 1/2 of the main (run) winding. #3 and #4 is the other 1/2 of the main (run) winding. #5 and #8 make up the auxiliary (start) winding including the cap and a switch.
The problem is that after making the connection, either High or Low Voltage and apply power you get a locked rotor sound. The motor will not start.
Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks
