Ohm test single phase motor opinion or fact

[WiredSmart]

I watched a video whereby someone was testing a single phase motor and chose the first highest reading as the START winding



After googling other articles to help me better explain how to carry out the test i found conflicting results whereby; the highest reading of the windings were between run and start therefore making the start winding the second highest ohm reading .

What are the correct readings to focuse on finding the run , start and common winding

Looking through Slemon this weekend, I see the phase split is accomplished with an auxiliary winding with a higher resistance to reactance ratio than the main winding.

It seems, thin wire can be used for the higher resistance only if the auxiliary winding is switched out of circuit after the motor has started.
