Hello,
Can anyone advise where I can find information of a 40 yr ++ motor
I wish minimal information such as Start capacitor size and also Run capacitor size and centrifugal switch diagram and operation.
I attach a pic of the motor information plate.

(Cap size in microfarad) = {(ENERGY in joules) / [(0.5) * (Volt) * (Volt)]} * 10^6

For Start Cap, use START ENERGY (Start caps are generally somewhere between 50 and 150 uF)
For Run Cap, use RUN ENERGY (Run caps are generally somewhere between 5 and 100 uF)

Converting energy to motion for more than half a century
 
Thank you to all for your help.
