I don't believe there is anything electrically interesting about your dual cap, I think it was just two caps in one package, a money-saving measure.

Most refrigeration compressors make poor vacuum pumps because they don't get lubricated. Yorks are an exception because they have a traditional crankcase full of oil. Home AC units are also cooled by the refrigerant flow. With no flow, she's a-gonna get hot! I don't recommend what you're doing, except as an experiment. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
