I have a small capacitor start compressor that when last I tried to use it, the motor sounds and looks like it is trying to turn over, but even with no air pressure to pump against won't rotate more than a couple of degrees, and will trip out the circuit breaker after only about 5 seconds. It has two capacitors, I assume one for starting and one for running. I took apart and do not detect any burned components or windings. How do I check to see if capacitors are working before I chuck it.
