Hi Xtal,
Based on the information given and gleaned from other bits, I would say that the two black wires on the side are definitely the start/run capacitor. Looking at similar motors a capacitor value of around 60 to 100 uf will be fine. Its not critical nor in circuit very long and once the motor comes up to about 80% speed will be disconnected.
The other two black wires will be one speed and the red/blue pair the other. I suspect that the red/blue pair will be the lower speed, particularly based on your comments.
In a washing machine this winding will have the wires swapped over to reverse motor direction so you should find that swapping the live feed from red to blue the motor will run the other way.
The same applies to the spin winding, though normally the washer would only spin in one direction, usually clockwise looking at the front of the machine.
