It is not that easy to test a start capacitor, because most of them have bleeder resistors on them. That said- on most new models *if* they have a start capacitor, and the start circuit has failed, it will be the PTCR device which has burned up. If the start cap itself is bad, they will usually show physical signs of failure.
