Alright well as a catch up:
Replaced all capacitors
Replaced thermostat
I checked the windings again and they are still 5-4-1.
Replaced start relay, however I can't seem to get a straight answer on exactly what wires go where since the universal replacement has a different number of leads than the original. As such I am not sure where to plug in what color wires to what leads and I can't find any sort of replacement or wiring guide other than diagrams I already provided which I often can't decipher.
However when I wire my "best guess" there is no change in behavior. Red to T2, Yellow to T1, black and purple to T5.

Current state is I turn the thermostat on "Cool" "high Fan" it attempts to run but seems to struggle and will either quit on its own or trip the breaker.
