Is the motor series-governed or synchronous?
And it could be the bypass capacitors themselves that are ‘leaky’ enough to trip a GFI.
Both style motors are fairly plentiful, and are easy to install. Might be better to try and find the whole assembly intact, rather than cowboy a ‘foreign’ motor into a Mod 15.
Further – at this juncture, you may wish to consider just replacing the motor with a ‘synchronous’ unit – this removes a layer of complexity and things that will eventually fail (brushes, governor parts, rubber
tires and discs, resistors, etc.)
Unless you are doing a “100 point” restoration that is. Otherwise, a sync motor is a lot less hassle in the long run.
Just my 200 millidollars….

Subject: [GreenKeys] Model 15 Governor motor Specs RQ
The motor on the Model 15 I am restoring trips the Ground Fault breaker even after replacing the filter capacitors, so I am looking sadly to replace it. Would a
member know where the specs for this 1/25 HP motor including torque could be found?
