Supco Hard start capacitor on Coleman A/C
I have a 1996 camper with a Coleman A/C. I bought the Supco SPP6E. My A/C has 2 round capacitors, one small and one large. The small one has 2 wires and the large has 3 wires. Which one do I replace?...

DO NOT use the SPP6E. It is rated at 190 - 277 volts, while the SPP4E is rated at 90 - 130 volts.

I also found this Youtube. I guess he is using the wrong capacitor too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cEaPdvzU04 and he shows how to connect the wires to the capacitor. But is using the wrong capacitor. 3 minutes and 1 second into the video, stop it and you can read the package says 190 - 277 volts.
