I stuck another slightly smaller cap on there and still nothing. I don't

Motor turns freely, Comp turns freely. I took belt off. Nothing. I won't
buy a new motor for this even at 75 dollar HF prices. Maybe a washing
machine motor. Another scrounge -a-thon.
Thanks


If it makes no humming noises at start, if it does nothing, it is not
a capacitor issue. Just trace where electricity goes with a
multimeter.
