Reabdet21,
You need to connect the wires up 1 to 7, 2 to 8, 3 to 9 (do not insulate them, just tie them together in pairs as I listed them). Then tie wires 4,5,&6 together and insulate them.
Next take your ohm meter set on it's lowest scale (R x1) and read the resistance between 1/7 and 2/8, then between 1/7 and 3/9, then between 2/8 and 3/9. These should all be very close and very near equal. This is testing the integrity of the windings (short circuit). High or uneven readings here means bad news---your motor needs to be rewound.
Next read the resistance, with the ohm meter set on it's highest scale (the higher the better) between the above mentioned wire pairs and ground. This reading should be very high, in the megohm range---infinity is perfect. This is testing for a grounded motor. Low ohm reading here means your motor is grounded and needs rewound.
If your readings are as above then the motor is (electrically) fine.
Hope this helps........
