Meter arrived today and matches what I calculated: SPP6 is about 140uf suspect the original is about 1/2 that but willneed to measure. (run cap is 40Mfd aka 40uf, fan cap is 7.5 uf, might be dual, won't know until I pull the shroud probably on Saturday morning.
Guess I am having trouble with how the start capacitor, being unpowered until turned on, reduces the start current requirement. Perhaps just magic. Don't care if it will allow the Pred to reliably start the AC.
TM is currently open. Is there any reason to close it before working on the AC or is another 200 lbs up there OK as long as distributed ? (Have a 3'x3' piece of 1/8" plastic can set where I'll be).
Am still uncertain whether to use 6 or 6E but will have both.
