Porter Cable C2150 Motor won't start

[Bnachuck]

My air compressor motor won't start unless you spin the fan. This seems like the start capacitor has gone bad, but I don't see one. Does anybody know if it has one or if one can be installed.

Hi Bnachuck,

It looks like the motor on your compressor uses two capacitors. Unfortunately Porter Cable does not offer the capacitors separate from the motor assembly. I would try removing the capacitors and taking them to a local motor repair shop. A well equipped shop will have capacitors available for your motor.

Thanks!
