Yes, MOST start kits come with a new potential relay and start cap as were trying to change the OEM compressor phase angle design to compensate for a out of specification compressor winding.
Since the unit already has a start kit installed, I would install a new potential relay and start cap to the OEM compressor specifications and see what happens. A start lit may not be required or help.
To get a better idea of what your dealing with, use a accurate DVOM too measure the windings (all three) then compare to the OEM spec's and see where you stand. Also preform a winding too ground test using a analog meter. You could be wasting your money on a new kit if the compressor is too far gone.
More likely than not, you could find the compressor wired wrong. Besure to identify the CSR of the compressor terminals and trace the wiring circuit back too each cap.
Even if you preform the above testing, upon start up while taking voltage and amperage measurements, you could discover that the compressor is shot, either/both electrical or mechanical.
If you have extensive electrical knowledge, you can make a very cheap compressor testing set up using a momentary switch.
