Hi.
When I was repairing industrial cleaning equipment I found that motors that had start/run caps would blow the fuse on start up if their value had dropped or risen (which many do). Some motors before they got to the blowing fuses stage would struggle to get going but if they did inevitably they still ran at their normal speed of 1480 rpm including the normal slip.
If the motor has a cap I'd be inclined to leave the correct value, you may land up with a cooked motor or fuse blowing.
