I only see one capacitor, so I'm assuming it's in the starting

Don't assume. What is the capacitance? Some small split phase
motors only have a run capacitor. The fact that the current only rises
slightly indicates a bad capacitor or a poor connection to one winding.

I don't think GE is making the motors anymore, and thats why you can't
get info. Either test the cap or replace it. Its probably a run cap.
