There's already a jumper on my auger motor, is that not originally like that?
There is a capacitor, in line, but should not be a capacitor jumper installed new. kap
 
Isn't the capacitor on the auger replaceable ? If you can read the capacitor, any electric store should be able to replace it.
.68 micro fared, 275v gotta be a $2 capacitor. synchronous motor capacitor, the capacitor is needed to start the motor, but if no power is going to the motor, something bad.
You used to be able to get a capacitor jumper, that you installed in wire harness, when the capacitor went bad. They quit making them, so you have to buy a new auger motor to fix it. I bought a few before they disappeared. Just in case==c kap
