is it the exact same as the previous one then? Might be a component quality thing, if all you did was replace it and that caused a loss that was not there before. Just my opinion though, not a electronics expert by any means. I just tinker.

The old one was giving me a lot of instability then it fell apart hooray I thought that's the problem so I replaced it with a hight quality one now it's as stable as a rock so I was wondering if there is not a resistance problem but where? one thing is for sure it is from the coil to the box I will have to ask GD and see what he thinks about all this.

As said, I did not get out today, just too much to do Angry

But I have made a movie of the foundation with terrace (last site detected) will upload in about an hour or so Great

X, at least you got out today..... Just make sure your soldering is good and not blobs which seem to make bad connections and signals... Look out for wires that are like hair, maybe shorting out giving a resistance across the coil Idea

Use gold plated connectors, but don't use my gold coins to plate them Wise

Viking, Homefire, hope you guys are doing well?
