One more thing. You should have about 9 to 10 volts on the blue/yellow wire when starting. right side.

I shut it off and then it wouldn't start again. So I looked around and found that the double- spade terminal on the right end of the ballast resistor had broken and one wire was therefore disconnected. I replaced it and plugged in both wires but now I can't get my D to start at all. Could it have blown something? Don't know how the ballast resistor works with the coil so don't know what to check first. Sure appreciate any help to know more.
