I'm making pole-pairs another variable you can set. I forgot about that. So, if the motor nameplate says 3600 rpm (or a little less) from a 60Hz power supply, it would be 1 pole pair.
1800rpm (or a little less) would be 2 pole pairs. That could be affecting your motor's behavior when it tries to spin. I had it set to 2 pole pairs by default.
