I have a Kingston-Conley motor on a Craftsman drill press, model 113.24590. The start capacitor appears to be bad.

The specs on the motor are:
Frame 11-8 C H.P. 1/2
Type K.B Cycles 60
Volts 110/220 Phase 1
Rpm 1725 amps 8/4
Serial # 70h1009692
I can't read all the numbers off the bad capicitor, it's scratched off.
Is this enough info to get a replacement capcitor. There is no mention in the user manual. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Start caps are a generic thing. Most likely yours was / is in the 135 - 150 MFD range, 110 volt. Have access to an old Kenmore washer? There is a start cap hiding either in control panel, or mounted on motor that is in this range.

Any motor shop should be able to advise, get a capacitor for you, or repair it.
