"The manufacturer did say that you had to
spin it a little faster than the 1800rpm rated speed."
	That is known as asynchronous operation of an induction motor,
or at least it sounds like it from your note.  It will supply power
to a source when it is run at a speed above synchronous.  It will
often work with a capacitive load of sufficiently low impedance.
