Tim,

Thanks, so seems my issues are with the AFM? I get a dark drip near the cat
in the morning and before it was just clear. The AFM is wacked since the rail
inside is worn out, i adjusted it to be able to run, because it was jerking
alot, I have a new hall,distro, but wire need replacing again. ( lotta new parts except the AFM.

thanks much
Joe
