Fan Repair

Symptoms 

• Fan will not start on its own
• With a hand start the fan does not spin at normal speed and does not move much air
• When I cut the lead to the cap – the motor did not hum,  did not start, and would not run when I hand spun – it was completely dead.

Wiring seems to match this diagram.  No apparent switching
