Grizzly 7x12 Horizontal/Vertical Bandsaw Coolant Pump Repair

After a few years of intermittent pump operation, I found the 4uF motor start capacitor was weak.

It tested out at 1.6uF (40% of rated value) and just would not reliably start the coolant pump motor. Ordered a pair of motor start capacitors from Amazon (keep 1 as a spare):

And had a working coolant pump in under 24 hours!

I did try putting a higher value capacitor on the motor and it worked fine and let me continue using the saw while I waited on the parts to arrive.

More to come...
