The motor should have a centrifugal switch internally to switch the starting
capacitor into circuit during start up.
Depending on your compressor, you may need a contactor to turn the motor on
and off as dictated by the pressure switch.
Find the pressure switch and see what current it is rated at.
Looking at the exisitng wiring may help unless this information has been
lost when the old motor was removed.
