    So I ordered this 5 2 1 hard Start Kit after reading so much on them. I also was going to change the dual run cap 40/5 on my unit but good on King Air they put a bigger 440VAC one in. I was going to do that. I keep these things in stock. They go bad and they go when you don't want them too.

    Back to the hard start kit. I was expecting some big reduction but I guess about 8 amps of inrush is all I'm getting. I got this little cheap clamp meter just to read inrush. I have an Fluke 199C Oscilloscope but don't have amp leads for it.

    So without the hard start kit took 73 amps to start compressor. With 65.8.
