Camper Bob, be careful when changing a starting capactor, they can store a pretty good little whack of energy, dont get zapped and fall off the ladder, power down the pod, short across the capacitor with a suitable conductor (preferably not your body)

That was also mentioned on the website.  Thanks for your concern.  I have a very healthy respect for volts and amps.  May have to sacrafice a screwdriver to the volt/amp god, but better it than me.  Safe Travels.

I once welded the probe of a volt ohm meter to the chassis of a VHF Transceiver when it slipped off a test point while I was in training in the airforce. The circut was supposed to be discharged as I was reading resistance which is tested with the power off. I had to cut the probe off with a set of side cutters. LOL
