120v Service To 230v Pool Pump?

I have a LEM .35hp meat grinder that did not come with reverse. It is a PITA to use and not have reverse. It is a 120v 250w motor, w 2 caps. There is no schematic on the cover, so I have no idea what which wire goes to where. I plan on using a DPDT switch to reverse it. on-off-(on or mom) switch. I have attached pictures of the motor wiring.  White/black come in then go into motor. White comes out of motor then to larger cap, other wire from large cap goes to red (into motor). Red comes out of motor into smaller cap, second wire to small cab is blue going into motor.

Any help would be appreciated.
      

hey i jus need a simple answer.  single phase pump motor needs to be connect to power.  there is one green, one black and one red/white? (i believe this wire used to be red but faded).  i kno green is ground, i just need to know which wire gets hooked up to L1 and L2.  the motor is set on 115V.  and dont worry power is cut off completely.
      

The connector board for wirng motor broke in pcs when disconnecting wires. Im pretty sure what goes where still. But do I need the board? There is 1 wire that goes to board and nothing else.
      

Hi, I have a 6" craftsmans metal cutting lathe and trying to wire a drum switch to it. The motor is a 1/3 hp westinghouse split phase motor 6.3 amp 1725 rpm. The switch is forward-off-reverse. There are two posts and two wires on the motor I'm not sure witch ones are start or run and how to go about wiring it there are 6 screws on the switch.I could probly post pics to someone  Thanks
      

I have a black wire, a brown wire  a blue wire  and a yellow wire with a green stripe coming from the fan. Can I hook this fan up to a 110v line ? If I can , could you tell me which color goes to the blk, the white and the ground. I did try several different ways, the motor did turn, but only at a slow rpm. You have stated that there is a red wire coming from the 230v fan, I do not have a red wire
      

I am wiring a three phase motor through a two pole vacuum switch. two lines go through the switch but one line is always hot to the motor. is this proper or is this a safety issue?
      

I have a 120vdc treadmill motor that has a motor controller board and a transformer to operate it. My question is is there any way to rigg it up to a 12v deep cycle battery. I was thinking all i would need is some sort of step up transformer 9-1 if they make it or 10-1. I would aslo like to have speed control which i assume would work through lowering the voltage. It runs fine off the 12v batter just not near the rpms i need. I know it will drain the deep cycle very fast but im not worried about that.
      

I bought a replacement motor (Dayton 6k778k) for my attic fan.  I removed the old one and it has two wires coming out that connect to two wires that go down to the light switch that turns it on.  They were connected by those plastic twist things.  So, I open up my new motor assuming that there would be two wires coming out of it that I would just connect to the existing wires, however there are just a bunch of blade connectors and I have no idea what is supposed to connect to what and how.  I'm attaching three pictures. One is the old motor/wires, the second is the inside of the new motor, and the third is really the only thing that alludes to how this should he hitched up. 3 & 2 were pre-connected out of the box...which leaves 4 & 1.  Is one of the wires from the light switch supposed to connect to 4 and one to 1?  If so, which one goes to which? Do I need to put blade connectors on the end of the wires that go down to the light switch in order to connect them?  Any help is much appreciated.
      

This is a bit beyond a DIY job, but some of you know that I just opened a new laundromat.  In doing so I took 10 dryers we had in storage for 2 years and installed them at the new location.  They are gas, but of course the controls are electric.  The fan motor is 240/208-120v.  The timer is 120v.  All the relays in the timers are 120, no transformers.  When we hooked everything up after two days of operation the customers complained that the time on the controls did not match their watch.  To our dismay the timers were counting down at twice the normal rate, ie. buy 6 minutes you only get 3 minutes.   This is crazy because all ten worked fine at the old location and now they are all counting down double time. 



I tinkered with the ground wire and even removed the ground to see if it would change.  Nothing.  I switched 120v hot phases and it solved the problem.  I rewired back to original and the problem returned.  I was stunned.  I then opened the sub panel and traded the two hot feeder wires from the main with each other to make the opposite phase and the problem on all ten dryers went away. 



We wired the building 120/208Y, 4 wire + ground.    Our old location was 240v delta 4 wire + ground.    Why would it do this?  I am really surprised this happened. I need to call the timer manufacturer because their engineer was stumped, also and had no idea why the timers were doing this.



What did we miss?
