How do i connect up a tumble dryer motor?

Thanks Phil being the impatient person i am i went off and had fiddle with a meter and took some readings across the windings and yes the the third wire is like a common for both sets of windings, and by connecting to that and one of the wires on the capacitor it will rotate in either direction.

Thanks again

the spare wire is properly the neutral
you can only make it revolve both ways by connecting the timer switch
