My capacitors don't look bad, they don't bulge, but on close inspection one has a slightly yellow dot as this vid mentions near the end, and the other has a barely yellow hue to it with a darkened corner. So it is possible they could be inadequate to start my pump.

Also, went to Lowes and HomeDepot. No Controllers, just one that was too large. So it's end of summer, parts are in short supply, think of the number of new controllers they'll need in Houston! No wonder my well guy sent me to the store, he probably has a short supply too.

Guess I'll be without running water for awhile.
