   Take a meter, and with the wires disconnected, but well labeled...   
      
   From the wire that goes to the starting capacitor, find it's mate (the   
   other end of the winding).   
      
   Swap the locatiosn of these two wires, so that other end of the   
   winding goes to teh starting capacitor) and the end that was on the   
   capacitor goes to the original location.
