More complex than I hoped - a safety switch - an overload protector a start capacitor power in and power to the motor...
This link might help - a Sears Craftsman wiring diagram...
Your first challenge is to get the safety switch operating - connect up the capacitor and the motor only when you're content with the safety switch - it should make and hold itself on until the power is interrupted and then drop out. You test it by pulling the plug.
there are 8 terminals and two reset terminals the wiring
one and one blue with a extension wire thats come from the plug and one black and one white to the moter each with extension connected to a yellow box thank you

There will be four terminals - two for mains power coming in and the other two for power going out to the motor.
If this does not help you come back and explain your dilemma.
Good Luck...
