Motor is a metric D flange mount direct drive 90S size, per the manual the capacitors are rated for an input voltage 240VAC, this issue as mentioned was the stuck centrifugal switch. Short of hunting on eBay and finding a metric single phase motor, which is very unlikely, it is doubtful you will find a replacement on someones shelf. Another individual who had a single phase RF-45 was looking to switch to a 3 phase motor, the Leeson metric flange mounts listed matched the mounting dimensions, but would need to verify the shaft size/configuration. Since the motor is still under warranty, first step would be to contact QMT and see where to go with it. Doesn't matter how good the start capacitor is, it is going to fail if centrifugal start switch does not disengage. This one went out with a bang. Electrolytic caps all have a finite lifetime, heat and age kill accelerate their demise, there are also different ratings and specs if used for DC or AC.
