Have you verified that the run windings and start windings are not reversed? Under load (empty car down) motor will struggle if windings are reversed. Car will run either way, it just won't be efficient. Also, it may affect synchronous speed. The limit switch that you are not using on the car functions as a Door Zone limit. When the car gets within 3" of the floor. a stationary cam pushes the lever on the L switch and unlocks the door so that you can get out. There are two contacts in that doorlock. One is called a closed door contact and one is called a door locked contact. On residential elevators of this vintage, you were allowed to jump out the locked contacts 3" above or below the floor or else you could never leave the floor. The door zone switch is in series with the closed contacts (33 to 41). The locked contacts are from 32 to 33. Whichever floor you are at has the locked contact open because the door is unlocked. When you set a call, the car takes off because the door zone and closed contacts allow current to flow. After 3", if the door did not lock, the car stops. If the door locked, then it continues on. Someone has removed some parts and/or jumped some circuits out. If you are not an elevator mechanic, I would highly suggest that you hire a reputable firm with and older mechanic .
Good Luck
