Welcome to TFP!!!The wiring diagram is on the placard on the motor. If you need help, please post a picture of your motor diagram as often the terminals are labelled differently.

You need 3 wires running from the timer. A white Neutral, a hot off the LOAD side of the timer, and a ground.
If your motor shows the same diagram as in the other thread, the neutral should go to L2 (with the white wire in the motor) and the hot should go to L1. And the brown motor wire is on B.

am trying to attach a picture of the motor label but is saying its to big? but the label for low voltage it like this . (Brown to B - L1is open White- L2 and A is open ) so if I got this right its should work now if I turn on the power right now.
Sorry I misunderstood your lass massage all give it try and see what happens. all keep you posted
Thanks I'll take your advice on the 2-speed motor. do you have any suggestion on with brand should I order. that will save me some good money on Electricity. :-D
Well, since you just bought a new one, there is no point in looking now ... you should be good for many years.
Buying a new 2-speed motor to replace a new 1-speed would not likely justify itself for a long time.
