there is a connection .pdf on the page you linked to, have you compared that to your wiring?

the lack of a capacitor shouldn't affect rpm

Yes I just noticed that as well, I must have had a brain fart. I am going to double check the wiring.

Are you in the USA, or somewhere else? Some motors tend to run much better at their intended frequency. In the USA, that is 60Hz, in the UK (IIRC), that's 50Hz.

I am in Canada, there should be no power issues, im gonna double check the wirirng. Failing that what could the problem be, a shorted winding in the motor itself?
