Not to my understanding. Current lags in an inductor (run winding). Current leads in a capacitor.I was referring to the run capacitor referred to the quote included in my post.
The run capacitor is in series with the start winding which doesn't have many turns, therefore it is less reactive. The capacitor stays energized and causes the phase angle of the starting winding to lead the run winding to a greater degree. It doesn't cause a lag.
