Re: Motor capacitor


 

Check that the terminals fit snugly on the capacitor, I have seen that problem before.

I second checking the centrifugal switch. Capacitors generally do not heal themselves.?

Many Taiwan motors of this vintage aren't of great quality, at least in my experience.? Given the symptoms you describe I'd check the centrifugal switch, which might not be closing (making) consistently.? A switch might be more likely to give intermittent symptoms than a capacitor.? Does it move freely?? Are the contacts clean??? There are lots of different styles of centrifugal switch and I don't know what you have.

I have a 1980s Jet Taiwan built saw that I purchased used a while back.? It stalls starting and buzzes sometimes, classic capacitor symptoms.? After removing the cover it was clear that the capacitor had been replaced before.? I ordered another one with the same ratings and it was worse than what was in there to start with.? I suspect the one in there that was installed by a previous owner was not the correct capacitor.? Does anyone know what the specs are for the correct capacitor?
