I second checking the centrifugal switch. Capacitors generally do not heal themselves.?

Many Taiwan motors of this vintage aren't of great quality,
at least in my experience.? Given the symptoms you describe I'd
check the centrifugal switch, which might not be closing (making)
consistently.? A switch might be more likely to give intermittent
symptoms than a capacitor.? Does it move freely?? Are the
contacts clean??? There are lots of different styles of
centrifugal switch and I don't know what you have.

I have a 1980s Jet Taiwan built

ordered another one with the same ratings and it was worse than what was
in there to start with.? I suspect the one in there that was
installed by a previous owner was not the correct capacitor.? Does
anyone know what the specs are for the correct capacitor?
