Heat pump fan motor

[Steve14]

Hello everyone,

I'm replacing the fan motor on an old EUS (Hayward) heat pump. I was originally confused by the fact that the replacement motor had 3 wires plus ground and the old motor had 4 wires plus ground. I found a 10-year old thread that addressed this very issue and resolved the wiring by following this advice from Bama Rambler:
"Power goes on red and yellow instead of black and red
And the cap that was between brown and yellow still goes between brown and yellow.

On the new motor, red goes to red, yellow goes to black and yellow, and brown goes brown."

Turned it on and the motor is running the wrong direction, counter-clockwise vs clockwise, looking from above. The advice above says power is now red and yellow, I tried reversing the power leads and it still runs counter-clockwise.

What am I missing here?
TIA

Follow-up
I put the fan on the shaft. When I turn it on the fan barely moves. If I give a little nudge in the correct direction it spins up and works fine.

I guess that means the capacitor. The first fan had two separate capacitor leads, the instructions above said to attach the new yellow lead to both the black and capacitor. Rather than make a jumper, I checked continuity between the black terminal and the terminal on the cap where the original second (yellow) wire had attached and there was continuity so I didn't make a jumper.

I have ordered a new capacitor. The one that was in there was the wrong size according to the parts list I have. I guess the new motor must require a bit more since the old fan motor was working (but noisy) with the old, incorrect capacitor.

I'm still struggling with this. I am attaching a diagram of how my 4-wire fan is currently wired and an image from the new fan. Can someone provide a definitive wiring solution? I checked resistance and there is no resistance between my existing yellow and red, some resistance between yellow and black. This seems to indicate I attach new yellow to old red and jumper to C on the Cap. Then new red to old black. Of course brown to F on cap.

The motor label says Rotation is clockwise from the Lead End.

There are two different perspectives in which motor rotation is given. Lead end, or LE, and shaft end, or SE.

Thank you James. Obviously I have the wrong motor.
