that is, if i remember right :)

should be right though, you are wanting to increase the 'plate' size or decrease the distance between the plates.

    Capictors

    Correct ...

    R's add in series,
    C's add in parallel,
    L's add in series

    Put them in parallel and make sure they're truly motor starting capacitors. Make sure you use the proper wire size and don't solder them, the heat can do internal damage.

    If they have spade ends, you can get a 2 to 1 spade adapter that has a female spade on the bottom and 2 male spades at top. RadioShack (if you can find one that still has parts) carries a set of mixed adapters as Part #64-3064. You can see them here: Quick-Disconnect Adapter Set

    Hope this helps...
