[header] How to check a start capacitor [title] Remove the start capacitor. [step] The easiest and most convenient way to discharge the capacitor is to attach the terminals of a low wattage 120v light bulb (about 20 watts) to the capacitor terminals. This will safely discharge the electricity which may still be stored into it.

[substeps] Be very careful that you do not short the terminals by connecting one to the other, until after the capacitor has been discharged. Doing so could injure or kill you. [title] Turn off the power to the wall outlet. [step] Unscrew the screws from the top of the wall outlet, and then put the touch us voltage regulator (rdi) forward in the outlet hole. They are black and can be easily purchased at hardware stores. Locate the idle section or center console in a compressed air screw bolt. [title] Disassemble the complete capacitor. [step] For this you will need only epoxy or syphon, or maybe a capacitor washable (epsom salt or ionized), and some plastic bags.
