Are you using a motor run cap?
Is the cap shorted?

The variac is an Ohmite 3 amp 0-135v.....and the motor is an
Oriental .03A 7.5w. I'm using a 47uF cap for adjustment.
I know someone who used the same (except a different variac) setup
and it worked well....
The variac has numbers on it (1-5). Just by experimenting with it,
it seems they are "standard", with 3 being the tap, etc.
I had it hooked up in a variety of configurations on none worked,
the fuses blew each time. Eventually I could find one that works? I
had the variac setup as in variable inductor set in series with the
"inlet" of the motor.
