Default (OT) Where

This morning I was using my old air compresser to pump up a tire.It is
an old tankless one cylinder oiless air compresser which I think dates
back to the 1950s or 1960s, it weighs a ton.The usual sound of the
aircompresser is a loud knocking noise when it was working ok.It was
running ok this morning, but then it started making a soft thumping
noise.Would that be the capacitor on the side of the motor has gone
bad/worn out? If so, I can buy a new capacitor at the Flanagan Electric
store, or the Johnstone store.
