There may be some motors that use the run windings for starting but it's rare to see that. Most made from the 50s onward using a start capacitor
have 2 run and 1 start winding. Some are called split-phase; they don't have start capacitor, only a centrifugal switch. They work well in applications where high starting torque is not required.
I went for years without any type of capacitor meter, but recently bought one of those little imported circuit board units that runs off a 9v battery.
It measures caps, inductors and semiconductors with pretty good accuracy and only cost around 7 bucks. Highly recommended, and I'm a tightwad when it comes to buying test gear
