What is the proper way to wire an AC  3 wire synchronous motor?
There is a wire diagram on this picture but it does not help me.

Do all 3 need to be attached to make it go clock wise?
counter clockwise?
Which wire is neutral?
Which wire is is hot?

I revised the picture to show the connections.

This should  help also:

Looks like the direction you want it to travel determines where the AC line connects.

Good luck.

Since there appears to be a capacitor present the motor in the picture is wired correctly. If there were no capacitor it would not run.

What is the purpose of the 0.15uF capacitor?
I find the next size smaller shows it also in this picture:

The motor is built with a number of magnetic poles arranged around the stationary part of the motor (the stator)  alternate poles are wound with the two different windings.  By connecting a capacitor in series with one of the windings (which results in a phase shift across that winding) you get a rotating magnetic field within the motor.  The permanent magnet rotor aligns itself with that field and rotates to keep in alignment.  The direction of rotation of the rotating magnetic field depends on which of the two windings the capacitor is connected in series with.

In general with a synchronous motor, there will be two windings with a common which you can identify with an ohmmeter.  The suggested cap causes a phase shift.  The AC rated capacitor goes between the free ends of the windings.

Power is then applied to the common and to one end of the capacitor.   The end you choose determines the direction the motor rotates.

Without a capacitor, the motor generally won't run or appear "spastic".  I've never experimented with the capacitor size.

The capacitor provides a shift in phase of the excitation to one set of the motor's windings relative to the other windings. This provides a rotating magnetic field which the rotor "follows."
