Default Sealed (really sealed) run capacitors?

These are run caps, so they are not electrolytic. If you know of a
place to get a pigtail run cap, let me know.

I expect most any electrical or HVAC supply place will have suitable
caps.


Ig... what is the nature of the connections? Is it opposite-ends
(axial), single-end (radial), single pigtail on one end with a bolt on
the other end, one axial pigtail with the case clamp as the other
connection? (wouldn't expect one of the last two on a motor, but you
never know)


Pigtail on the side.

And last -- if it is an axial with two leads, why couldn't you make up
your own pigtails for a quick-disconnect type?


It is operating in a wet area, that's why.

There are lots of oil-filled film caps out there in several package
styles.


It would not be very safe to put it on a pump that sits in a coolant
sump next to water level.
