ok, intermittent. inside the motor is a spring loaded centrifugal switch connected in series with a winding and the capacitor. as the motor spins up a pair of "flyballs" move outward from the motor shaft and open a set of contacts. when this happens the motor run winding is actuated. if the flyballs do not move outward then both the start winding and run windings are energized. with this you have an increase in motor current and the possibility of burning out the start winding.
