Franklin Furnace Motor Wiring

QUESTION:

I have a spare furnace blower motor but do not have the wiring hookup diagrams.
May I request a hookup diagram (both directions/ all speeds) and the proper value for the capacitor.
I suspect it is a permanent split capacitor design manufactured about 1981. Four wires: white, black, blue, red. Franklin Electric, Jacksonville, AR MODEL 8726410120
1/3HP 05-1230D 115VAC 60HZ 9.5AMP 1100RPM CONT AIR OVER THERMALLY PROTECTED G78
I have received no feedback from Franklin.

ANSWER:

Just to educate? If they are the only wires you have. Then. Motor is called shaded pole. 120v. White is common Black is High speed and insulate other leads not used. This means to not use the other wires but don't let the bare end touch anything or get together because you will get fireworks. Blue is Med speed and insulate black and red Red is low speed and insulate black and blue. Motor can sometimes be "Mechanically Reversed" But that's another lesson when asked.
