The only other thing I can think of is that if during installation of

new converter you removed all the wires to the motor from the terminal
strip, (I can't see that you would need to do this, just considering
possibilities). If one pair of wires e.g. the reds were reversed when
reconnecting this would reverse the direction of rotation of the
motor,
which would be quite interesting to say the least when the starter
spins it
in the original direction. I don't think this is likely however, I'm
just
mentioning it as a possibility.
Cliff - The polarity of the wires doesn't matter, only that both
red wires go to one side of the AC and the 2 blacks to the other side.
These non self-starting motors don't have a clue as to rotational
direction, in fact if you can get it up to speed going in the reverse
direction, it'll lock right in! All of the synchro hammond clocks will
do this too, and I've tried it, it works. I didn't feel any younger
though.
