The black one 200uF, 220V looks like the start cap.
Replace that one and you should be good to go.

I'm only saying this because of you stating you have no knowledge of these motors and with mine being very close to the same I will pass on a warning.....Be very careful to not touch the caps terminals until you short them out and make sure they are totally discharged. I'm told they act as fast discharge batteries that can hold and let loose enough power to stop your heart and feel much like a taser gun hit.
Well no body has the caps for this POS chinese motor, in Colorado Springs including Grainger. So I think think it will be a 2 hp Baldor 3ph and a vfd. then I can build the belt drive for it. I hate having to fix equipment.
Thanks for your help guys.

Thanks for the warning about them being charged they were soildered in so I just cut them out with a pair insulated cuters. The white one arced with good snap. I know about cap and motors had to replace the cap in the water well pump last year. Got zaped good then.hahahahaha
well, it won't be charged just sitting there
pretending it was charged(which it won't be) it might hurt your elbow when you jerked back and hit something
Just because no one has the caps in stock in area area & a cap blew, doesn't necessarily make it a "POS chinese motor". Not sure if you are having ither problems with it though. Caps fail, even on Baldors. Just saying.
A 3ph vfd conversion will probably serve you best but give Matt a call, he'll take care of you and get you up & running in the meantime.
