Some don't
even use a starting capacitor. They simple
spin the motor with a pull rope and switch on the current.
Sounds a bit 3rd world alike .... And the motor is still
not running well!
I have done that before to start induction motors by hand without
start capacitor. Some have dual caps from what I heard for starting
and running. If the motor is hugh sized, capacitors or start switch
circuitry burnted out to go w/ it would be very $$$ and some didn't
chose to have start cap and do the B&S thing start. (pull and flick
switch same thing as choke off after start.)
