    What you are describing is most likely a bad start capacitor. It is a small rectangular or round device, about the size of a pack of cigarettes and is usually located on the motor or housing, some are silver, some are black. Turn off the power, short the 2 terminals and then remove it. Go to an electrical supply store or a HVAC company and get a replacement that is as close to yours in voltage and microfarads. Reinstall and it should work.
