Wrace,
I know you are frustrated. I am sorry if I am contributing to the problem.
I did not see the third capacitor hiding behind the first two. Now that I do see it, I have a different opinion.
The capacitor in front is for your fan motor. It is not shown on the schematic.
The larger gray capacitor in the very back is the run capacitor. It has the red, yellow and white wires that go to the relay.
The black capacitor hiding in the back has two yellow wires. This appears to be an ADDED start capacitor. The strap that holds the capacitors in looks suspicious as well as the color and style of the start capacitor.
If the third time is a charm, your Supra6 hard start capacitor goes to the yellow wires on the hidden black capacitor.
It is entirely possible that the added Supra6 capacitor will NOT help. This will be dependent on how well the OEM capacitor is working.
The start capacitor stores energy when power is applied and then releases its "surge" when the relay closes to start the compressor motor. There is a point where an additional push is not needed or beneficial.
It is hard for me to accurately give advice when pieces are missing - in this case it was the black capacitor hiding in the back. Sorry - my old eyes missed it entirely first time around.
