The usual cause for wires to burn is a bad connection (high resistance). Make sure that all the terminals are tight and clean to ensure that you have good connections. You will probably have to "make" a wire to replace the

6 Frequently Asked Questions about “The capacitor wires are all burned out”
Why isn't the starting capacitor easy to burn out?
The starting capacitor is not easy to burn out because its working time is very short. It is only thrown into the circuit by the centrifugal switch at the moment of startup, and there is no current through the starting capacitor during normal operation. This makes it not easy to burn out. However, it does not mean that it will never be burned.
Why is a capacitor burnt?
Re: Capacitor is burnt, why? Big Boy is right. What is burning your capacitor is the so called "in-rush current". It is a high peak current that appears during switching on circuits that have capacitors after the rectifier.
Do capacitors need burn-in?
The concept of burn in is always fairly controversial, of some things more than others. But one component in the system chain that most people seem to acknowledge as requiring burn-in is capacitors, in particular certain types of boutique capacitors such as Black Gates, V-Caps, and so forth.
Should I de-Rate my capacitor?
If it'd be possible (given the size constrains that you have), I'd de-rate your capacitor (use a higher voltage rating than required) and also put a smaller ceramic capacitor in parallel. These are more tolerant to short high-voltage spikes and will help reduce the stress on the electrolytic.
Is it possible to de-rate an audiophile capacitor?
There are audiophile capacitors which are known for their quality, but I am not familiar with the exact brand names. If it'd be possible (given the size constrains that you have), I'd de-rate your capacitor (use a higher voltage rating than required) and also put a smaller ceramic capacitor in parallel.
What is the cause of a burned terminal?
Cause of a burned terminal is typically corrosion or failure to tighten the terminal. I've had a few snap when tightening. I use pipe strap to hold capacitors in place when the new cap doesn't fit the old holder. I've seen capacitors walk around the compartment due to vibration, something ugly happens way too often.
