    Cap start motor wiring

    Hiya guys, I have a very old motor, it is capacitor start, single phase AC, reversable. How do I wire it up?!

    Here's some clues, wish I knew what I was looking at, but I am a dunce at this. It has 6 wires coming from the insides of the case, 2 Red, 2 Yellow (one with a green dot painted on and one with red paint) and 2 green. The capacitor has 2 wires also, so 8 altogether. On the terminal block, there are two input connectors, L and LE, so I take it LE is neutral. No where to earth this thing, so I will just attatch earth to the casing. Unfortunately most of the wires are disconnected, so where to start? Any ideas?!
