My 2 hp capacitor start and capacitor run motor was sluggish starting so I replaced the start capacitor. Boy, what a difference. Either the original capacitor was cheap or it was very tired. Now the lathe gets going like a top fuel slingshot. I decided to change the run capacitor too so I can sleep better. Makes me wonder what the normal life expectancy of a 200 ufa and 35 ufa capacitor is.
