starting a 1 HP well pump with a VFX3648 [RE-wrenches]

Wrenches,

I have an off grid customer with a Outback VFX3648. They have a 3 wire, 
1 HP well pump that is on the hairy edge of operating, occasionally 
overloading the inverter on startup. I have thought about the possible 
easy solutions to this problem. One is a suggestion I have heard from 
wrenches about changing the starting capacitor on the pump's starter. 
Does this work and if so does anyone know which way to go (larger mfd or 
smaller)? Also is there an after market "soft start" unit that could be 
put on this pump? Any other options / suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Todd
