How do I reverse this single phase compressor motor?

[Qwertyco]

I've asked this before, different motor this time!
It's a brand new SOGA 1.5hp single phase 1340rpm motor for my compressor, and as my luck would have it, it spins the wrong way.
It has one capacitor.
Wiring is:

Live > red into motor and blue into capacitor, blue out of capacitor into motor.

Neutral > Black into motor, and white into motor.

As usual, my piping background isn't helping here !

Please help this simple piper!

Cheers,

Mike.

Disconnect the black and white wires. One will have continuity with the live terminal. Swap the other with the blue.

I.e. if the white has continuity with the live; swap the black and blue wires on the line/neutral connections.

Ok, I'll accept the 'Dummy of the week' award.

What you do to reverse it is . . . . . . .
look at the little picture on the inside of the junction box lid!

Been there done that (and and a degree in EE). Did same on one of my welders. Open wiring door only to find two dozen unmarked terminals. Scrounged for manual on beast online. Finally find one that matches the vintage. Open door to set jumpers to see diagrams on the inside of door.

The other option is to look for a manual by googling the model # and manual. But then again, who RTFM's
