Once the start winding and the start capacitor have been removed, the motor will continue to operate with only the run winding energized.

The starting windings and capacitor are there only to get the motor moving. They create a second magnetic field with a phase shift that provides starting torque. Once the rotor is up to speed, a switch disconnects the start winding and its capacitor, leaving only the run winding energized. The run winding is designed to sustain operation at running speed, so the motor continues to run with just the run winding, albeit with load-dependent slip. Therefore, the statement is true.
