    Joe, it’s been a while, so I have no recollection on how
    I chose to use that .2 uf capacitor. I may have checked
    the capacitance of the original, been steered to using
    it, or just plain didn’t think about it!
    Not sure if I have the original in the photo to check,
    but will look tomorrow.
    I see the parts list calls for a 71-1555 condenser.
    I doubt if that 1940 parts number is going to help!
    Would a "wrong" capacitance cap cause a motor
    to run that irratic?
    Should I be putting shrink wrap on all those orange
    caps I use?
    Thanks for the ideas!
