i think the problem is not in you - there is really a huge amount of
different types of windings, wiring, etc. i saw the book about motors
yesterday (1950`s) - @#$%, there are so many different ways to force
things to spin % )))

no - cap start/cap run have 2 caps - one connected permanently,
second - in parralel with the first through switch/relay/any other
starting device.

what? you mean that even 1/3 can be too much? % )

maybe your motors has small starting torque originally - before
conversion?
