Have you considered having the motor reworked?

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.
