You could try replacing the motor capacitor in the
control box. You can get one from your local electric
motor shop. It will probably be a physically larger,
120 vac unit, but they are cheap, and you can just
temporarily wire it in to see if it solves the problem. The
capacitance value is not particularly critical.
