The new capacitor fixed the problem. No hesitation at all now when starting. When I pulled the old capacitor out, and disconnected the connections, it literally fell apart in my hands. The pool store wanted $25 for a capacitor, but I found one at Grainger.com for $4. Hopefully this post will help others. When I was researching this, I looked all over and found others that have posted similar symptoms, but no one ever posted the fix.
Thanks Al.
