My 13 x 40 Jet lathe motor gave up the goast. Turn it on and it
hums. It is against the wall so it is hard to see the motor but I
see capacitor gue coming out of it.

it is a 2 HP 220 VAC Capacitor start induction motor. Anyone know if
it is 1700 RPM or 3200 RPM motor?

If you can see capacitor goo then there's a good chance that all that
has happened is that you lost a capacitor, and a very slightly remoter
chance that you lost a centrifugal switch or some such and that took the
capacitor with it in time.

So why not just fix the motor?
