    You must purchase a new capicitor for the new motor/it will be for the motor only and must be what the motor call for

    On the side of new motor is a wiring diagram,telling you how to wire
    You will probably find it says the brown and brown/white go to the new cap
    And the yellow and black each go to contactor one to each hot post

    Do it matter if I have single cap

    If it's the right one,, it must match the motor


    A correct and new capicitor is like a warranty on the motor,a wrong capicitor can ruin a motor
