You wouldnt happen to know of a resource something like "Starting a
compressor for dummies" or something would you? I have a 1/4 HP whirlpool
compressor I'd like to use for this purpose but dont have the appropriate
capacitors and knowledge on how to connect them to fire it up. It has a 3
conductor connector on the side if that helps.

Bit OT I'm aware, but it is vaguely coiling related.
