Electric motors have a starter capacitor that is only in use while it spools up to full power. It should be - red goes to one of the whites from the capacitor, then the other white should go to the yellow striped.
black should go to black and earth to something metal.
It's an electric motor so if you've wired it around the wrong way, it will run in reverse. if this happens, swap them around.
