Take it to a motor rewind shop who will fit the correct size.....volts KILL if you get it wrong!

i think the 20mfd is too small and the 100 too large for that grinder
may somewhere about 60mfd would be more suitable...i stand to be corrected

20 or 100 microfarad will work OK . The capacitance simply causes a small phase shift of the current to the start winding.

The voltage rating should be enough to handle the standard 240 VAC, that is why I recommended one with a peak voltage rating of 400V. Standard stuff really.
