If you have occassion to come through Tulsa I can give you 50 amps
and lots of good coffee(I won't put you to work). You are right
about the cold. I was outside this afternoon and it got cold quick
when the sun started going down. Tom sent some drawings that I have
pieced together. I plan to work on her some more late morning. I
don't know the deal on that one lead. I can see from the drawing
there should be two. And, the aux switch doesn't work now even
though it did before. I would almost swear I only took one lead of
the old relay and can't see another one loose. It will all work out
sooner or later. Thanks again.
