Thanks, Bill D and Mr. Cody!
The inlet filter is clear, Bill D.
I did read through the post Bill but neither of my testers have a capacitance function and I should have clarified I don't have two pumps to be able to try a different capacitor.
So I'm guessing without a capacitance tester neither of mine will test it (accurately).
I also found them on ebay from $7-$13 and was about to order one, until that part of me wouldn't until I knew if this one's bad. Unless that's a no brainer and I'm just not catching on
. Which is entirely possible
