Since you already have the capacitors, I would suggest you measure the
voltages that you get now with no starting caps. And then see what
reconnecting some of the caps you disconnected and remeasuring the
voltages.

Yep it isn't necessary. But I think you will find that some is good, a
lot is not. My experience is that with a little playing around, a
starting push button and a relay are not necessary. Your mileage may
vary.

Jerry, you were 100% right. After I disconnected starting caps, the
loud buzzing noise was replaced with pleasant humming.

I will use a start pushbutton and your solid state relays to switch
caps off. (caps will be on only while the pushbutton is engaged).
