Ya, ya, ya, ya! You can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think! But who would have thought a coil would check perfectly good, yet be bad. And never show faulty when tested. I didn't have a spare coil at the time to throw in there - and besides - I'm cheap (others say thrifty, others call it being frugal) - and didn't want to spend the money until I knew for sure. Well -- that didn't work! But it's done now. Thanks for offering the help guys - and I will accept the chiding! LOL! John On 6/12/2014 10:46 AM, Jim Felder wrote: > Nor can I!
