Seems like the start waifer inside the black ptc device is bad. I would order a new one, just be carefull to wire it up exactly the same as the old one.

The resistance readings with a 9 volt battery in the meter do not verify the windings are not burnt, if they are, application of 115 volts will display high current as the voltage will ark across the windings.

When I test my pins, I get 1.3 ohms across the bottom and then .7 top to bottom and .6 top to bottom. They equal out, but are these readings ok, they seem low.... Or am I mis-interpreting them (is 1.3 really 13?)
I do not have a digital tester

Best to use a digital meter, you can get a cheap one at Walmart.
Only way to verify compressor winding status is with a good start device and an amprobe.
You would need a wheat stone bridge and factory data to verify windings are good.
