This is Turtle.
Without the Operator manual or the name plate with wiring diagram on motor your
shot. Try to find the manufactor of the air compressor on the internet or by
toll free call look up of the manufactor and try to get them to send you a
diagram of wiring or look it up on the internet for a operator manual that away.
Tring to blind reverse it is very hard for they have about 10 different ways to
reverse different type motors the G/E has.
If you have a flate bed scanner you can put the motor tag if removiable on the
scanner and scan it. Then reverse the picture to make it look like a blue print
in black. They call this inverting the picture. You can read them sometime by
doing this where you can't read it normally.
I just thought about one here if all else fails. Bring the motor to a motor
repair shop and have them look at the winding and reverse it by knowing how it's
wired up. These fellows that repair these motors would know the reversing
proceedure on all these motor of G/E .

I passed your information along to my brother who sells GE parts. Here's
his reply:
"Neither I or the GE Factory can find a file on this old motor.
We believe that the catalog number is wrong . Those old
motor nameplates are difficult to read. Please have this
person revisit the motor and look at the cat # very carefully.
The beginning looks good -5KC184- but the next two digits- AG-
are mutually exlusive. So, check those out carefully."
If you can give it another try, I'll forward anything new you find to
him and we'll see if he can retrieve your diagram.

There are likely 4 important windings, 2 for starting and 2 for running. That
makes 8 leads. The other 2 leads may be involved in the capacitor(s). For 120 V
the windings are connected in parallel, for 240 V they are connected in series.
The starting windings will both have the higher resistance and are connected
through a centrifugal switch inside the motor to line. Reversing is usually
done by reversing the connection from line to starting winding. Can't recall
where the caps tie in, maybe someone else can help here. HTH

Mark, I don't know if it will be helpful, but I have the schematic for an
old 1940's GE Triclad
Type KC, single phase, dual voltage vertical pump motor thats 1-1/2HP, 1720
RPM. I'd be glad to send you a scan
of the schematic page if you want to send me an email at: snewman24 at cox

motor reduce size of
pulley or if pulley is adjustable open it up so that belt sink in, this will
reduce the load on the motor
and in some cases you may need to replace belt to suit if this is belt
driven unit.
