 parrothead, I do believe I would try it like this.. Either leave the existing speed control switch on the back of the motor [if it’s even mounted there] & hard wire into the motor as shown [if you remove the speed control switch you will probably have to hook that black wire that goes to start circuit to the black hi-speed motor connection [see green line],,at present it is hooked to the hi-speed circuit at the speed control switch]...If you want a slower speed try wiring per the blue [slow] line & not the bottom red [fast] line... By looking at the drawing you should be able to hook your 110 AC power wires to the motor"s black & the yellow/black & get high speed.. That motor circuit has more safety switches, & control contacts than a ballistic missile.. There are some concerns by by-passing all those contacts & relays.. My big concern is the possibility of a sneak circuit appearing due to some back feeding of the relays & switches.. Probably the smart thing to do would be to remove all the external switches & relays on the motor & wire directly to the motor’s [yel/blk] & [Blk] wires then hook the start circuit up per the green wire drawn in. Problem is I don’t know how much of that start circuit is internal [obviously the centrifugal switches are] & how much is external in a mounted housing.. I also don’t know how many of the switches & contacts shown are mounted on the motor & how many are remote mounted.. Can you tell if that speed control switch shown in the drawing is mounted on the motor or was it part of the control panel?
I guess a quick power up to the motor’s yel/blk & blk wires will tell you if it is going to motor or not.. Maybe use that 150 watt [or 2 – 100 watt bulbs in parallel side by side] light bulbs in the power wire as a safety until you see what’s going to happen.
It sure would be easier to figure out if the motor was here in front of me.. If this is confusing just post back.. JDClooney@aol.com
