Many thanks for your help,where would be the best place to purchase a capacitor

could be capicator oil pump or motor. to test motor remove oil pump from end of motor and start motor if motor starts it is your oil pump that is jamming your motor.replace.

Not likely to have jammed - more likely the start capacitor has failed. Thats the part which tells the motor which way to turn.
