Does this pump capacitor look bad?

Looks pretty close. Only difference is voltage rating and the old one has 2 terminals for the white wire, but I may be able to splice the 2 wires to the same terminal.

You can buy splitters to turn a single post into a double

I like that idea!

Another pretty close one but only 2 plugs not 4. Doesn't have the BUTB printed but the rest seems to match.

Wow, those are cheap. Thanks. I may try to find that locally as it may never ship from Taiwan with the Pelosi visit and china threatening her plane.

You may already know this. You can always go higher on the voltage rating without issue. Never lower (usually).

Some bondo and spray paint will make it good as new.

Thanks, that’s the question I had. Good to know.

I would say Radio Shack, but they ruined that years ago. Back in the day, I spent hours in there, buying parts to fix old electronics.

Locke Supply or similar place, may be your best bet.

If not already mentioned a great source for my pool parts this summer has been Britton Electric, cash only and the guy running the place will probably learn you up real good on electrical components!

I know he did on my situation and I am very happy to have met this guy. Locke will have them also, keep in mind that pool pumps have a run and a start capacitor so you may need both, I did, it was still way cheaper than a new electric motor.

Good luck
