Doesn't make much difference MW, we can see the line and neutral going into the motor, but we don't know for certain which cores of the input cable those line and neutral correspond to, as there's a switch and possibly a junction box in the middle. We can't trust that the colours going in are the same as the ones coming out to the motor as it has been altered.

Just trying to help since he came to us for help I understand what you are saying but it drives me crazy not being able to get his motor running. I’ve been on YouTube researching but you are right we can’t just assume anything

Hi

No wiring diagram anywhere at all I will second check to see if any numbers on wires. I will also open the base and see if I can check how the power wire joints the cable running to the motor

It looks from the picture that it is configured for single phase.
Presuming it’s 230v or there about, I would expect this to be a half hour job for anyone who is competent and has a good understanding of ac motors and there configuration for single phase use.
Where in Birmingham are you?
I might be passing you on Monday or Tuesday as I am working that area early week,

Hi

I am just north of Birmingham near West Bromwich
 
Hi Guys

I've managed to take photos of how the cable from the motor connects to the power cable.

It looks like the black wire is connected directly between both cables, green wire isnt used, Red and yellow wire is connected via switch.

They are useful pics. You are going to need professional help with this because the unit appears not to be earthed unless the blacks are earth, where do the blacks go. The greens appear to have been at some time connected to the switch.

How do I wire this plug up as the wires are not colour coded
It would certainly heat up faster at 240V! I have a large 240-120V transformer to power my American kitchen appliances here.
