Changing AC fan motor

[2Doc]

Hey I got a Lennox unit. The fan motor burnt up so I went and bought a replacement and new capacitor.. It isn't OEM it's century multifit. The old motor has 3 wires, the new one has 4 and different colors. I've looked at diagram till my eyes hurt and have tried several different ways. CAN ANYONE HELP

is it possible that is a 2 stage motor you bought and the one you are replacing is a single stage?

Pics, specs, colors needed. Did the motor come with any kind of instructions or diagram?

The colors on the old motor- purple went to fan on cap. Black and yellow went to connector. New motor- has a black and yellow( diagram say line, brown and brown with white stripe- diagram says SEP. CAP and has the lines joining with kinda a circle in the middle. Give me a minute let me figure out how to put pics on here

To put pics up here you have to host them somewhere (imgur or whatever, everybody seems to have a favorite) and then link to that pic from here.
