the motor went bad on my kobalt 80 gal 5 hp compressor. I found a replacement motor but its not reversible. I need to know which direction the motor runs looking at the pulley.

It should state on the motor plate the direction it runs. Or if you look at the flywheel on the pump it usually will have an arrow.

The flywheel / pulley should spin so air is being blown onto the pump. As EOC stated above, there should be a directional arrow on the flywheel.

Majority of compressors run CCW looking at the flywheel straight on. What motor do you have?
