Hi all ,

My pool pump has been playing up for a day or two , runs for an
hour or so then shuts down , (overheating)
I have taken motor out and the starter capacitor is ruptured i think it is 
60uF 450VAC cant read much else , motor is a 4.3Amp  Model LTP750 made bY
ONGA pumps .
My questions are

1. Should i just change starter capacitor and refit
2. What could cause overheat problem ( bearings aside)
3. Do i need exact replacement capacitor

thanks
