OK. More info:

1. Clock motor is 240v.

2. On the cable coming up to the switch:

Red-red = 0 volts
Black -black = 241 (my bad. Somehow I missed that measurement.

So my basic setup is 241v.

Now, how do I connect the cables?

What are you trying to connect them to? You have a 240 volt pump, a time
clock with 240 volt clock motor, and some type of switch. You're description
of the pump is "a surface old pump", and what kind of switch?
