Help wiring a motor one phase
Hello, I have a one phase, cap start, cap run motor and the cord was cut. I have the wiring diagram, there are 5 leads coming out of the motor, I'm very new to wiring and motors, does anyone know how I would wire this to use in my garage for woodworking tools?

Welcome to the forums.
Does it make more sense with the colors highlighted ?
If you want the motor to rotate counter clockwise.....
connect white and red motor wires to black of power cord.
connect orange and black motor wires to white of power cord.
If the want the motor to rotate clockwise.....
connect white and black motor leads to black of power cord.
connect orange and red motor wires to white of power cord.

No sir.
The only way to electrically control the speed is with a VFD. (variable frequency drive) wikipedia.org_Variable_frequency_drive
They run around $150 or so. Depends on the amperage of the motor. There are some bargains on eBay.
