Rotary Capacitor

[LostInSpace278]

Ok what I am looking for, is what size of start capacitor do I need for this compressor. Also will I need a run capacitor. I'm not really sure how to read the rating on the run capacitors. Many I see are 250VAC~370VAC. (Voltage AC?) There isn't any writing on the top next to the 3 prongs, so I would like to know how to wire it as well.
I have have found a few compressor specs as well:
Model #:RKA5510EXA
Basic b/m: RK136AT-002-A4
Capacity BTU/HR. @ ARI :10,300
EER BTU/W-HR. @ ARI:10.96
Volt.-/Freq./PH. :115-60-1
Watts: 940
RLA/MCC/LRA: 8.60/ 13.6/ 48.3
Motor Type:PSC

Edit: Reworded the questions I was asking :D

Here are a few pics:

I tried, to no avail :mad: That was truely all I came with.

I did a search on ebay for tecumseh compressor and way down at the bottom it had a bunch of BIN items. Some guy that ran a paper business had it. Got it for $55 shipped. I was a quite surpised when I opened it today, not even the mounting plate is bent. Spectacular condition :banana:
I search ebay almost daily for good deals on compressors. I got a nice danfoss 1/3 HP a couple of weeks for @$50 shipped.

After I get started on my single stage, I will go to dual stage with r402/r1150 and this one is going to be used for 1st stage. I'm going to keep my eyes open for at least 1/2 HP compressor to power the second stage.

Ok I went ahead and ordered a super boost. Any one know if I should get a run capacitor? What are the hazards of getting a run capacitor that has a high MFD (micro farad) rating or are there any hazards associated with this?

And it only has one cap, it came in a giant amana air conditioner... It was all old and rusty though, so I'ma get a new one,.. where did you get yours? This small town kinda sucks for finding stuff like this :stick:

Can you still read the numbers off of it? If so would you mind posting them or PM ing it to me. I did a search on ebay for start capacitor and run capacitor. Tons of em on there. I'm guessing they aren't a hot item to sell. You can get start capacitors for dirt cheap, at least compared to graingers prices.

NM I found the answer I was looking for.
