I think I`d be inclined to put 110 volts across one winding and feed the other via a cap, say 3 or 4uf to start with.

Its a geared motor, can you turn the shaft - if so you may be able to start it by applying power to one winding and giving it a twist.

I think Klaxon were an American company so that could explain the two phase.
