A burned out capacitor won't have anything to do with short cycling. That will just prevent the compressor from starting at all and lead to a potential fire. All the capacitor does is give the shot of high amp juice needed to get the compressor turning to begin the cycle.
The symptom of a burned out capacitor is a protracted humming and the smell of burned wiring with no compressor action.
