When I turn on the chip auger, it either sits there and hums until I help it start or it starts, but running backwards and I have to repeatedly stop and restart it to get it to go the right way. The machine is phased right, my tsc pump works properly and the phasing indicator is green. I have read that this might be a single phase motor with a start capacitor. If the start capacitor was bad, could it cause this behaviour?
