Although they will work OK. On the other hand Motor Start Capacitors are not suitable as they're designed to take a huge surge for a very short time.
On some Can Electrolytics there isn't a specific Negative Connection, just the Can which is clamped down to the Chassis.

Hi Alan.
Let's not get pedantic, would you fit a motor run cap as a smoother? I wouldn't, it's not the correct component, it's doing a job it wasn't intended for.
When I was fixing industrial equipment, some motor run caps say AC only, Nowhere Man is confused enough so let's get him used to using the correct components don't you agree?
