CAPACITOR

Capacitor — Set ohmmeter at R x 1K.
Slip a heavy piece of paper between points.
Discharge capacitor by touching the two termi-
nals with the blade of an insulated handle screw-
driver.
Attach one probe to each terminal; ohmmeter
needle should move rapidly to right then
slowly drift to the left. (Low ohm reading to
high ohm value).
If a digital meter is used, readings should
start low and rapidly increase to maximum
value.
Replace capacitor if bad.

SWITCH

Remove paper and attach one lead to each
switch terminal. Ohmmeter reading should be 0.
Flip governor weight to running position.
Reading should be infinity.
