thanks fellas sorry - don't know how to post diagram or picture do not have capacitance on my cheap Radio Shack meter as per internet using analog ohm meter - I tested both caps - taller 12mf cap with the 2 red wires tested good (needle moved to the right somewhat then slowly returned to...

each cap has 2, the 12 mf cap has 2 red wires which go to the stator seemingly 180* apart on the stator. the 1000 mf cap has 2 leads soldered to the green board. The green board also has 2 blue wires, 1 of each seems to pair up with the red wires as they go to the same respective places on the...
