You know, I don't have a lot more ideas. If that kit is not an expensive
item, give it a try, but based on what you describe it's starting fine, but
is producing enough resistance after running to kick the breaker. Check on
what a new one will cost at CW, and then decide how much you want to spend
fooling with the old one.
One possibility. As I remember from when I studied air conditioning
(years ago). The cap tube meters the liquid refrigerant to the
evaporator keeping the pressure differential between the high side and
the low side at the design level. If you get a restriction somewhere
(the cap tube for example) then the liquid cannot pass to the low side
at the designed rate. You wind up with too much liquid on the high
side and too much pressure differential. The compressor is not
designed to work at this level of pressure differential so it draws
more current and finally overloads the circuit. It sets for a while
and the pressure differential slowly equalizes back to normal.
SWAG, ymmv
