Apply power for only a couple of seconds. Coil windings inside the motor quickly heat up on a motor that does not run and the coils can be destroyed. Then the motor needs to be rewound to work again. Chances are the motor made a growling noise when you added power. It is also probable that the starting windings are not working properly, but there could be more than one reason for that.
