I had a similar problem a few years ago with my Speedaire 20 gallon
2hp. My caps checked out. Ended up cleaning the contacts on the
starting/centrifugal switch. Has been okay since. Take a look at this
pdf file and see it it lists your motor:

It had mine in it plus quite a few more...

Â* Thanks Leon , my motor is listed ! For a 606727 motor - that's what
is on my tag - it calls for a 704 mfd at 110 volts . Hmmm , that doesn't
seem right since this is a 220 volt motor . If doubling the voltage
halves the capacitance needed , a 330-380 mfd cap would seem about right
... I just found a contact link for Emerson , messaged them . We'll see
what they say . I never really thought about how much I use that
compressed air until I don't have it ... and since my ne'er-do-well son
has apparently burned up my small portable for me , I'm kinda in a pinch .


Mine is wired for 110 but can be switched to 220v by moving wires in
the motor. The start cap is 649MFD and 110VAC with a plastic case. The
run cap is in a metal case. So that 110 value maybe okay (shrug). A
