If you have mixed up which wires are hot and ground, pick the one you think is the ground and test with a volt meter each of the hot wires to ground. It should register 120v ea. Then to insure you have 240v use the volt meter one hot wire to the other and see if it registers 240v.
The wiring coming into your house has two 120v lines going to the breaker box and are kept separated. If the 240v line has been connected to one side of that box then you just have 120v. You have to have one wire from each side of the breaker box to achieve 240v. If you test the wire with a meter from one wire to the other and get zero that would indicate that problem.
Personally though I think if you wired a saw meant for 240v to 120v it just wouldn't start. I think the lack of power is a separate issue with the motor. It's also possible there is an issue with the size of the wire or the distance from the breaker box starving the saw for power. It's like running power tools from a too long extension cord.

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
