It is more likely to be a faulty starting switch than a capacitor. I'm not familar with that particular motor, but if they used the same switch as the Delco motors, that switch is prone to more problems than other starting switches.
The good news is that sanding the contacts with a finger nail sanding stick will usually get the switch operating again. Also check the springs on the switch, etc.
You will have to remove the end bells to check the starting switch on most motors, although some may have an external electronic starting device. Mark each end bell position with a center punch or scratch mark so you can put the end bells back on in the same position. I would check the starting switch before doing anything with the capacitor.
When you carefully remove the cover on the capacitor, short across the terminals on the capacitor to discharge it. Then examine the end for visible damage. If you get a replacement capacitor, look for one with a microfarid rating close to the one that you remove from the motor. It doesn't have to be exact, just close to the original will do.

The draft forces are
