The motor should have a plate with diagram. It may or may not be dual voltage. It may or may not be dual direction rotation. More information is needed.

the motor. There are lots of sites with all sorts of stuff. The only problem is they seem to come and go.
On my DC motors, plaid is "+", and paisley is "-"
For AC/DC, use pink and blue.
Otherwise: polka-dot is hot, plaid is neutral, and paisley is grounded. And the sky blue lead is the ether net.
Seriously, *everything* is in the details -- which you DIDN'T provide.
Manufacturer? Model number? colors _on_the_terminals?? how many capacitor 'bulges' does it have?I
etc., etc.
