Everything tested OK with the DMM.
Now my question is, do I replace the capacitor with the old one, or just omit it?
It is my understanding that it's sole purpose is to reduce radio noise.
There was some rubberized goopy stuff when I took it apart originally. I must have forgot a couple pieces.
I removed them and don't see any signs of shorts in that area, although the wire does look a little bulged.
Here's a close up of that wire.
