Immediately, I can't determine a solution to your wiring dilemma. But first we'll need to need to know what electrical supply is available. Voltage. Amperage. Hertz. Clear pictures of the motor tag. There likely is a wiring schematic with it. Clear pictures of the components.

Are there any numbers on the wires like T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T8 are the caps already wired in or is everything just a jumble of loose connections.
Some of the 5hp single ph motors are duel voltage and some are only 120v
If the caps and cintrifugal start sw are already connected and you have 6 wires as you say which voltage are you trying to wire it for?
Like TM51 said pictures of the wires components and the data plate are essential.
