Hey group- As I've continued working on the upgraded workshop manual, this DML reference caught my eye- _http://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/starterfix.html_ (http://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/starterfix.html) (mentioned by Jake Kamphoefner) Without spending hours scratching my head looking at the wiring diagram... there are at least two different factory versions, BTW, neither complete... I have to ask: doesn't this seem to have a similar effect as what the dual ignition ballast does, when it's half bypassed by the invisible (i.e, not on the diagram) ignition ballast relay? One gives more current, the other only retards half the current during starting? Wayne A.
