Hi Kit,
I take it that you don't have a multimeter ?
I've looked at the picture of the switch you posted, are those six connections, ignoring the earth one, all there are ?
Mine is a cheap digital from Harbor Freight. Sorry to take so long to answer, I'm at work, usually can only work on this in the evenings.First step would be to pull off the blue wire from the cap and use the meter to see if it's the same as one of the blue wires that comes out to the terminal board. Then we can go from there. What type of meter do you have? Analog type (with a needle) or digital?

Feeling dumb here, I don't know what this means.After looking at the documents posted above, this is my best guess at the internals of that motor. The start winding, cap and switch will be in series. The actual order shown for the start circuit may not be correct but it shouldn't make any difference as far as external electrical connections. Note the brown wire bypasses the heater part of the thermal overload, this allows that same overload to be used for both 115V and 230V. When used at 115V the current from only one run winding and the start winding go through the heater.
