I would guess that the wire unused for 220 volt operation is the neutral
(white). Typically, you would have something like red and black as the
hot wires and green for the grounding conductor. Sound right?

No, it will have low self esteem over time. Interactions with others is
necessary if it is to get along in the wire society. This is a sad
situation.

I have changed 3 motors to 240v. Two were simple and made sense. The third
was weird. But all three worked fine.
I expect yours will be fine also. Probably has something to do with the
starting circuitry.
