Are the leads from the motors Numbered 1 to 9?  If so you there are 6
coils inside the motor.  3 coils are wired in a Y  with numbers 7-8-9
the ends. 1&4, 2&5, 3&6 are the 2 ends of the other 3 coils.  for 3
phase operation at 460 volt you put 3 sets of 2 coils each in series,
Hence put the 3 power wires to 1,2&3. connect 4&7 and insulate, 5&8 and
insulate And 6&9 and insulate.  for 230 volt operation connect 4,5&6 and
insulate, connect the 3 power leads to 1&7, 2&8 and 3&9.
 So  why not try putting a voltage across 1&4, 2&5, and 3&6 Then see
what you get for voltage out of 7, 8 & 9.  My master electrician friend
says it can be done but you are going to have a devil of a time
 regulating the output.  Also when it get enough voltage in it it will
be self exciting.

Let me know what happens.
