I had a $4 tester to tell me it was 110V out from house. i then realised
the label options L1 L2 white brown were factory wired white brown from the
motor (not house power) and was left with L1 and L2, which could only be hot
& neutral from house. Either way works. The way it works now white is to
white and power (black from house) is L2, as opposed to vise versa, which I
said also works. It says not reversible, so that may explain. After I reset
the white brown from the motor entirely (to assumption "Low Voltage". I was
reding it wrong.

Bad guy wears the black hat, the good guy wears a white hat.
Black wire (bad) is 120VAC (or 110, or 115 depending on local utility)
white were (good) is neutral
Green is safety, just in case white wire breaks.
Normally, the black wire goes to the circuit breaker, the white and green
wires goes to common wire gang blocks. All on / off switches should open
close the black wire connection.
The color of the insulation is just that, covering of the wire. All
wires are equal under the insulation.

Your motor is a dual voltage motor. They stuck stickers on the box to let
you know how the motor was set at the factory. You need to verify the
voltage you have and connect the motor accordingly. Don't guess at anything,
if you're not sure, get some help
