Final wiring complete - Compressor runs like a champ!!!

Closing out my addition to this thread. I was able to get it sorted in another posting about the initial wiring of the Baldor motor. To confirm: 1) Leave all the factory jumpers alone (lower T2 to upper L3, 95 to coil behind L3, 96 to upper L2) 2) Connect motor to T1 and T3 3) Connect line to...

Great - thank you @Bert_ Happy Holidays!!!

Thank you Wyliediesels. I tried as well but assumed I just wasn't using the right search terms :unsure:

OMG - thank you soooo much! I've seen various comments about the Baldor "SPL" motors being not-so-special but I didn't see that notation on the motor. Does that mean I lucked out and got one of the good ones?
