Generator Fan Motor
Paul:
If your windings on your motor were no good, I would doubt that the capacitor would keep it running that long.
Since I am not near my coach, I think that the motor is 240 volts. Why not check it from house supply?

Update on generator fan

I
checked voltage and had voltage on both
sides of cap and going to the motor. I replaced the run capacitor and it did
not start. I gave it a small push start and it started turning and ran for
5-10 minutes then came to a stop.

I had a 50/50 chance that I would be that
lucky. I pulled squireel cage assembly out and put it on the workbench. From
the time that I had run the generator to the time I got unit to my work bench
was an 1.5 hours, and the motor case was still very hot, so it makes me think
there is something wrong with the windings in the motor, so I will be out
looking for a new motor.
