I have a switch that cut out the start capacitor once my idler motor spins up. Yesterday I forgot to throw that switch and then I smelled smoke. This is what it look like inside.
The capacitor has leaked a small amount of tar and seems to take a charge from my digital volt meter. The burnt wire above the green resistor is the red wire to the capacitor. The blue wire below the resistor is the other wore from the cap. Both are still solid wires.
I think the cap. is a start cap. and it failed. Is that correct?
