Default Hooking up a small gearmotor (electrical question)

In article , ignoramus19961
@NOSPAM.19961.invalid says...
Bought this vintage gearmotor at an estate sale.

http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/gearmotor.jpg

It has four wires: two green wires and two black wires. I suspect that
two of these wires need to be connected to a capacitor, either for
startup or perhaps permanently (no idea on my part). Any thoughts on
how to hook up this gearmotor?


It's a split phase motor, no capacitor. Connect a black and green
together on each side of the line. To reverse, switch the greens to the
opposite blacks.
