Have a small(1/6hp)open frame double shaft GE blower motor I would like to utilize.It is 110V and has 3 wire leads coming off it.Blk,Orange,blue,no other connections.Motor has a "lever"which comes out
paralell and next to one shaft that appears to have mechanically operated an attached switch/terminal block thingie which is gone.
Any input on getting this thin hoing appreciated.

That sounds like a draft inducer motor from a mobile home furnace, Coleman, for example.

They use a motor like that, with an attached centrifugal switch to allow the gas valve to operate only when the fan is up to speed.

Most likely, it is a "split capacitor" motor, using a small oil-filled capacitor connected between one of the power wires and the third lead.

The size of the "cap" needed and the wire color code indentification is another matter, though!

Maybe punch up "mobilehome Forums" on GOOGLE, and try asking on one of those???

Actually it's out of a small electric clothes dryer I recycled a few yrs back,suspect the lever was to actuate a "kill switch" on heating element if blower/drum motor was not turning.Tried searching for motor by no. on several sites w/o success looking for wiring info.Dryer was looonng obsolete Hoover mini,shoulda copied schematic off back before scrapping hull :(

Do you remember if it had a "run cap"?

If NOT, it may need the switch that has been removed to act as a start switch, or perhaps, if you are running a light load, you could use a small oil-filled capacitor connected to the third lead as a start/run capacitor.

Found the 'switch/terminal blk' from the motor in my "widget box" :),looks like this:

No caps recalled,all simple flag connected std wire from timer,element,start switch,door switch,and temp limiter.Nothing like a cap mounted anywhere or in harnesses that I recall.
