Finally smoked the capacitor on my Jet. Didn't like the $24 option from the factory so I went to Granger and picked up a 25uf 250 VAC cap to match the specs on the old one for $5. Installed it and I was back in operation. After about an hour and 6-10 starts, the new one is smoking. I read something on another forum about problems with the switch not taking the start cap out of the circuit and causing it to overheat. Is something wrong with the motor that is cooking the cap? Help! I haven't been able to finish a pen in over a week!
