    The electronic start relay.  But just by removing and replacing the spade terminal on it and the cap you may already have solved it.

    I don’t know about that cap, but I bet they would be talking about the bill. Tech and knowledge cost money. But will identify the real problem.

    Your statement reminds me of this old story that my former boss shared with us techs once (RIP Ray Riggs):

    I had a fiend that passed about 10 years ago.  He did nothing but troubleshoot Alco diesel locomotives as a independent mechanic..Apparently he was the only one in the world that was good at it and traveled all over the world. Right till his death at 82. I got to work with him once and peruse his manuals. They were well worn, but he held the most complete documentation in existence. He had worked for Alco in the same capacity when they closed down.  And yes, he was not afraid to get his price as there was no competition.  He even had drawings to make what he needed. .
