It's a large capacitor for the high voltage circuit. Mine went out last year - if capacitor is weak or blown, motor will be hard to start if not totally impossible to start. Sometimes, they just go bad (like mine) and sometimes, they'll get really hot and start smoking.
Wiggled mine, started trimming up.

That's how we got it up to put on the trailer. My luck if I took a shortcut I'd be wiggling it at night, in the rain and blowing 40+!
What is the big blue canister thing on the side there? No marks or anything. Trying to figure it out on my Etec
No idea either, been a year since I did that fix and haven't lifted the cowling since
