Update: Need Motor Experts

Since the motor died while it was running and I found that the run cap is in parallel with the start cap until the centrifrugal contact drops out, I thought maybe I should go back and check the run cap, 1.7 ohms. I thought I checked it back on the weekend, but I guess not.

It's a 30 uf 250 volt and searching the net the smallest volt I can find is 370. There's about a $30 difference between the two. Do you you think Delta Machinery is cheap? It's their dust collector.

IF it REALLY is a capacitor start motor, WITH a starting switch, the motor should WITHOUT the run capacitor (for testing).

If IS a capacitor-start motor, and it DOESN'T run with the "bad" run capacitor out of the circuit, something ELSE is wrong. (VERY LIKELY.)

If you REALLY need that capacitor, better have a look at Grainger's...
