Hayward 1HP Superpump Wiring Question

[tbone2]

Okay, so I've just swapped out my 2nd capacitor on this pump. First time went flawless and got it back up and running for about 2 years now. Pump was tripping the breaker again last week, got a new capacitor (no biggie $5) and had it running fine again for about 30 minutes, but I didn't put the pump motor cap back on before testing. Put the pump cap back on and flip the breaker and it's making a buzzing noise.

Open it back up and one of the wires running from some other part to the capacitor sheared off of the non-capacitor part (maybe my fault - also looks melted, so may have been causing my problems anyway). If anyone is familiar with this pump I could use some help. Pictures included via link: Pool Pump - Google Drive

1st, where does the yellow wire in the photos go? I'm pretty sure I recall where having been in there two or three times, but want verification. 2nd, how do you attach it to that connection? Am I gonna have to replace that part, solder, etc?

Been a long time since I posted here, but appreciate all the help I got early on with my first in ground pool. Thanks in advance. Trying to get this bad boy closed in the next week here before the leaves really start falling.

The part on the end of the motor shaft with the springs and weights is part of the centrifugal switch. The springs hold the weights down until the rotation creates enough centrifugal force for the weights to swing up and out.

The buzzing was the sound of the weights hitting the wires until the weights snagged the wire and ripped it out.

The wires need to be tucked inside the posts that the capacitor sits on to keep them away from the centrifugal switch.

They must have been left outside the posts.

The yellow wire goes where you point in the picture.

You should be able to solder the wire back on. You can cover the damaged part of the wire with shrink tubing or replace the wire. The wire was damaged by the weights spinning and hitting the wire.
