Re: burnt start capacitor on air compressor

On thing that can put a tremendous load on startup is tank pressure going backwards into the cylinder head. A check valve with a blow off is best so after shutdown it can bleed off the remaining head pressure so the motor doesn't have to fight it. Usually after shut down you will hear a hissing sound.
