A search on the Dayton MC-261 motor has a couple threads that state

tested or replaced them?


Not yet. If only two terminals are used (1 and 4), then why are these
terminals 2 and 3?

they reused an existing part from a different motor because it fit and
didn't have pay more design fees.

I will get the cap out tonight, hopefully, and will replace it in any
case.
