    It could be that the centrifugal switch is engaging and then disengaging for some reason so make sure that it has a full range of motion and the contacts are clear and there are no obstructions interfering with the switch.

    I think you were sold a used/rebuilt motor. Your pictures do not look like a new motor. You probably only have a 30 warranty if that. Quick, take it back!
