I have a 1/3 hp electric motor that runs at 1075 rpm. It only has two wires: white and black. There is no green wire. I was wondering how I would hook it up with a ground wire. Do I attach a green wire to the case of the motor? By the way, I plan on plugging this motor into a GFCI outlet.

Green wire to the case, that is how all green wires are attached. Be sure to clean off paint and such before attaching, and use a terminal.
