Post some pictures of what you have there and it will make it easier to give you some help.

Hi Bob,
if you have a multimeter, it should be easy enough to wire for reverse as well (once you have a new switch!).

Assuming you have a one-capacitor motor (if it had 2 to start with, things may be different...)

Measure between the black wires, if there's a few Ohms they're the start winding, and you should see a few ohms between the other 2 (the run winding). If you see a few ohms between the pairs (so one lead to both black, other lead to blue and brown) stop now! and put up a pic of the motor terminals and any diagrams on the terminal box / motor plate!

wire your new switch so the black wires and cap'r swap over (so one each to live and neutral, then swap for reverse ) and the live and neutral go to brown and blue in both positions, should give you a reversing motor :)

If it had 2 cap's to start with, post some more pics and we can probably help - it sounds like it should have another cap if it won't start on its own?
