Hi Guys,
my neighbor gave nme a 3 hp Leland-Farraday single phase 115/230 motor, it does run, but at about 200 to 300 rpm, not the 1750 per specs. I tend to believe it's a capacitor issue, but I'm not sure how to test or even which one is start, and which is run. I am posting some pics of the motor, in hopes that one of the many talented people here can help me proceed. I am trying to put an air compressor together for my sons birthday, and I sure would like to be able to use this motor.
