Thank you. I will take the unloader apart and see if anything is broken. If i disconnect the green solenoid valve will that prove anything. Today i disconnect the line on the right from the uploader valve and when the compressor stops i do hear air bleeding out of the unloader valve hose for...

If i did not have bad luck i would have no luck at all. Got the Capacitors done (Thank you American Locomotive). Was running the compressor start at 120 psi off at 150 psi. When the compressor called for air it would try to start but was acting like the switch was being turned on an off. It...

UPDATE GOT IT GOING. I went back and checked all the connections and found the jumper wire from one start cap to the other had come loose in the terminal (from me taking the wires off so many times) and i fixed that hit the switch and the compressor went right off. American Locomotive i could...

I put the run wire T5 to the start terminal like you said (you were correct it would do nothing the way i had it) the other end to the run cap where the - symbol is. Motor started but tripped the breaker in the compressor in 20-30 sec. moved the wire to the top connector (as shown in photo) and...

American Locomotive i uploaded a picture of how i will hook up the new start caps when they get here Monday. I changed the one wire like you said. How does this look. I do have a question. Do run caps have a Positive and negative. I ask because after i hooked the caps up i slid back the motor...

OK I will do that.

Thank you. I found and online converter that showed I could install 1 start cap. It would be 550 uf (2 710 in series = 550 uf). 2 runs at 15 if = 30 if in parallel. So 1 could run 1 at 30 if. Any thought on this. Or should i just do it with 4. My runs test good.

No one has any idea how they should be hooked up ?

Uploaded PDF file. The pdf only has one page an image so i added the image Thank you

Added more photos to post

Hi thank you for your response. I added more photos. The pdf showed 2 start and 1 run caps. I have 2 run and 2 start. I would love to have just 1 run and 1 start. Also the pdf stated that the starts were wired in series. I found that a little strange. I thought that they would be wired in parallel

I was given this compressor Automan AE7 5HP direct drive. All the Capacitors were disconnected so i tried looking online and nothing. Called Marathon motors and the pdf file they had was not right. Motor # MVA 184TBDR7026 BNL 5 HP MOTOR or just (184TBDR7026). My motor has 2 start (710 MFD each)...
