Unfortunately I live a fair way from civilisation, hence the s*ity old compressor.
I was hopeing somebody could give me some details, so when I go into town next month I know what Im talking about.
What you need are -capacitors-. There are two kinds of capacitors for motors: start capacitors and run capacitors.
Start capacitors are the most common. Sometimes the electro motor also needs a run capacitor.
The start-capacitor is only use for starting. A motor with a missing start capacitor can be started by hand (give the flywheel a hard push in the right direction). The capacitor is onyl used for starting.
A run capacitor is used during running. The motor will not run with it removed, or badly when bridged.
