Replaced both capacitors and PTCR (which came with the hard start cap).  Unit now runs fine.  I should have checked to see which component was at fault, but it was my young son up on the roof in the hot sun. Total cost of less than $100 and about 30 minutes worth of work. In any case, alls well and I really do appreciate all the insight.  In particular, offgrid alerted me to the fact that there were two capacitors
