Old motor is obsolete, new replacement motor takes smaller size. replaced old cap as well. not sure how to wire. everything i find tells me to wire the brown and white to the new cap, black to power and another to c on old cap. there is no fourth wire on this motor. i'm stuck please help. been broke all summer.

thanks

Not sure what you are doing. 3 prong capacitor is a dual capacitor, 2 prong capacitor is single capacitor, they are not the same.

How many wires does the new motor have.
list each wire separately using a comma between each wire.

EG: Black, brown, etc, etc.
