Are you using the capacitor from the 175W MH kit? If so, can you do that?
175W - 10 uF (microfarad)
250W - 15 uF
I am not experienced with the magnetic ballasts for the MH's (mine is electronic) but this is what I have found online. I also do not know the effects of using the "wrong" sized capacitor.
