The owner's manual is correct. As you can see, the motor started its life in Idaho.
The model is BF115A6LA.

The parts picture does show only one screw, but the quantity shows 2.
If your vapor separator has a paper high pressure filter in the right end of the vst, #38, then the parts diagram should be correct.
Yes, the blue/yellow wire is the positive side. If the motor does not run, but you get a spark, switch the polarities, and see if you can get it to run backwards. Sometimes that will break it loose. Running it for a short time dry is ok, for testing. If you do not get a spark, you could measure the resistance between the two wires. If you did not get a spark, the resistance will probably indicate infinity (an open circuit).
As for the flood, we got everything out or put up high in time, except for one of our semi's that we couldn't get the brakes released. There was already a foot of water around it and more than a foot on the road to get out and the water was still coming up. So we got out! Everything on the semi's floor and about a foot or so up was trashed. The yard was a mess with debris and mud and the inside was full of mud. Fortunately, we have a lot of good friends and customers, who helped us not only pack up, but also to clean up and move back in. We were able to get in on Wednesday to assess the situation.
Thursday, was powerwash time, fortunately it did not get to our main breaker panel and our light and heating circuits were up high. Finished the building and some of the outside concrete that day. Then ran all the fans and heat all night.
Friday, finished cleaning electrical outlets near the floor and fixed a few telephone connections, while our friends (landscapers) cleaned up the yard and other various debris filling a huge dumpster. While more fans and heat continued to dry up everything. Fortunately, the building is made of cedar, inside and out. No dry wall. It used to be a nursery. We still have the greenhouse.
Today, we cleared out the fans and unloaded two huge liftgate trucks and one trailer. All our helpers then jumped in and cleaned mud off of about 75 or so used props that we did not move, but went underwater. Waiting of gravel before we get the semi back with all our parts and additional files etc....so many of our shelves are still empty. Also brought some boats back.
I got the internet, credit card machine, and cash register going.
Finishing up with computers tomorrow and window cleanup as well as a few more boats.
We are in a lot better shape than some of our neighbors, who did have dry wall, etc and were not fully prepared.
Theoretically, we should be back in business, once our other semi (with all our parts) and goose neck flat bed made it back. Hopefully, that should be in a few days, once we get the resting spots prepared.
Thanks for your concern and thanks for letting me vent.
Hopefully, your project will be less stressful.
Mike
