Motor is reluctant to start?

My White Knight 767c Condenser Drier Motor is reluctant to start, it will run, given a manual start. The Drum is quite free to turn so I do not suspect too much friction is the cause. I therefore suspect either the motor or the condenser and wondered if this problem has been experienced by anyone before?

Its the capacitor/condenser they sell them on ebay Its easy to change

i believe there is a capacitor that gives the motor a kick start, i guess thats not working.

there is a capacitor mounted next to the motor that is used to start the motor rotating.when they become weak the drum will start slowly or not at all,just buzz.you have to take the whole thing apart to get access to the capacitor unfortunately.not an easy 5min job!!!
