Of the two, which is the larger value in microfarads? My well was acting peculiar so I was checking voltage at the pump and when it started up, there was a large arc from the larger of the two capacitors. I removed the two and the one that was arcing had a burned terminal. I went to the wholesale place to get a new one and they said it was the run capacitor but from what I’ve read, the smaller cap (7.5 mf) is the run cap. I like to think the one with the burned terminal is the run cap and that’s why the well was acting weird. Can someone clarify which is which?
