Capacitor

Pumo will only start if shaft is manual spun. From what I read it sounds like it could be the start capacitor. Does this model have one? I don't see it on the parts diagram. Model Number: SP 1580

Yes a pool pump can have two types of capacitors: a Start capacitor and A Run Capacitor. The Start capacitor is switched into the the motor's winding circuits on start up to help the motor turn over and come up to speed.
