Hi Brent,
Not all induction motors that use a capacitor also use a switch. The bigger ones do have a centrifugal switch. I have seen quite a few fractional horsepower motors use a cap (I don't think that it is a "run cap" but it might be), but do not use any sort of centrifugal switch. I would try to find a 30 uF 200V non-polarized electrolytic from a company that sells fractional horsepower induction motors or Grainger (not cheap but they do have EVERYTHING that a "Plant Operations" department of an institution would need). I am not sure that a 100WV (working Volr) electrolytic is hefty enough but it is in series and I am usually (but not always) cautious.
