You neglected to say if it ran OK before .    IOW is this something new 
or has it always been this way since it was installed?  Without knowing 
we don't know if it's an installation problem such as wire size, or if 
it's a component problem such as the capacitor.   Is it a new rotator, 
rebuilt, or an old one. If so, how old?
