No, the cap has no effect on the motor speed.

What speed is it rotating at (should be about 15 rpm or 4 secs for a

should i change the complete motor.


Is it the original motor?

Is it 110V being used on 230V mains ? :-)

You might be able to change the size of one of the pulleys to get a
different gearing.

You can see what size it is originally supplied with:
