My call to my bud lookin for the motor terminal cover plate prompted him to clean out his tool box & a phone call this am with a "I found it "
so I have it strapped as the cover says , but it has a hard time starting I can move the bent some & it will start . it does not feel hot when running , think I have a bad start cap ?

Caps do go bad sometimes- also the cap might have been replaced with one that's too small (happened to me)
What value cap is there now?

al teh silkscreen on the cap is gone . I went to a motor shop yesterday & the cuy tested teh cap & said it was good & in the right realm for my motor . he suggested that I clean off the contacts on the internal sw . I blew them out with some air today & it seems to start good almost every time I tried . I needed to cut a bunch of material ,so now that thats done I think I will open it up & give the contacts a good cleaning/filing like the motor shop suggested.I hope that its a permanent fis as I dont have a budjet to replace a motor right now
