Motor wiring ???

Colleagues
I've got two water pumps motors that I'm going to use to turn a home made drum sander using a V pulley. They are single phase, looking at the wiring, it does look to be yellow, red and Black. But a electrician friend of mine told me to ignore the colouring of wiring in a motor. Anyone got any suggestions. You can see the terminals on the close up photo.

u1 and U1W1. You need to connect to the terminal that the capacitor is not wired to and one that the capacitor is wired to. If it rotates the wrong way for you swap the connection with the capacitor, I.e. The other connector the capacitor is wired to.
