I just let all of the smoke out of the switch box from a single phase
reversable motor and would like to wire it to run in one direction to
get me through until the repair parts come.

Coming out of the motor are leads colored red ,blue, black, white,

Can you give me a notion which leads would be connected for either
direction?
I tried making sense of the switch but it was full of grindings when
it fried and it is just a charred blob.

Thanks, Tom

The usual setup would be black to L1, white to L2, red to one line
and blue to the other, reverse them to reverse rotation.
