Well... a new cap didn't help much, but the motor does seem a tiny bit more lively. Also I'm back to not being sure about the diode's purpose. I would think the diode would be to prevent inductive kickback... on a DC motor. It's wired so that Line goes through one half of the field coil, through the diode, to one brush, through the armature, out the other brush, through the capacitor, then through the other half of the field.
So it's like....half wave rectifier?? Meh, it works, that's good enough for now. |

The cap is in series with the windings??? I would have guessed that it would have been accross the brushes to suppress RFI.

Oh, I thought it was across the terminals. My Ford stereos, certain ones at least have a diode across the terminals of the program select solenoid, I think that's what threw me.
