I have this motor and want to wire it direct to 110. Came out of an electric dyer.
It is 1/4 HP , 1725 RPM, 115V, 60 HZ, 5.2 Amps.
Have tried wiring direct to black terminal and white to yellow/black terminal, with no luck.

How many wires or terminals. Do you have the old wire loom?

5 terminals 6 wires; order of wires are right to left; violet; black; brown and brown;
Yellow/black; dark blue. Yes have the loom

You have a lot of possible combinations for speed and direction. I would go to the GE website, click on consumer tab and "contact us".

What model dryer this motor come out of and what are you trying to install this motor into.

I'm curious, because I've never seen a clothes dryer with a reversible direction motor.

Black to pigtail
Brown to start and blue from start I spliced together
Spliced brown to belt switch
violet cut and capped with wire nut

Motor still doesn't run

You need to go to motor itself, there you should fine a common, start, and a run terminal. Determine which is which by measuring resistance. Common to start will have highest resistance. If motor is same as shown below, the orange is probably start. Common is black or blue.
Wire neutral to common, hot to run with jumper to start.
