I have a 2003 Craftsman Professional Twin-Cylinder 7 hp 80 gallon 175 psi air compressor. The motor without the belt to the compressor attached will start turning but will kick out the breaker. At my attempt to start the motor - there is a fair amount of noise coming from the motor prior to immediately kicking out the breaker. I can turn the motor over by hand without bad bearing drag. The start capacitor has corrosion coming from it - see photos. Would this be causing the problem? How does one test the start capacitor to confirm if it is bad? Thank yoU!
