Took a ride this weekend to Wilson Lake up Northwest in KS today. Along the way we stopped in Wilson KS which was settled by Czech immigrants. Really awesome town if you are in the area. My wife had seen someone posted some photos of some rock formations in that area of the lake. Little did I know it was going to involve a 2 hour hike to get to them. Oh well, I needed the exercise anyways. My brother came with us via his 1985 Kawasaki Voyager 1300. I guess we are a sucker for these 80's touring motorcycles...

Folks, let me be clear. I have no intention for this site to go away. I also gave no intention of selling it. My intention is to turn it over to a current member who shares our passion. No final decision will be made until after my next doctors appointment but somebody has come forward that might just work out. I think you will all be pleased.1 point

Well.... I pushed hard tonight, installed the replacement capacitor and the NPN coil transistors, and did a function test. The good news / bad news. The good news is that I didn't kill the black box. It still functions. The bad news is that the spark, though better, didn't improve as much as I hoped it would. Qualitatively, the spark has gone from 10% of what I wanted to see, to about 25% of what I wanted to see. It clearly is better though the " arc welder " spark I saw seems to be an anomaly. I see a hot spark from time to time, but not consistently. I really wanted to report an awesome victory to impress the one or two people who will see this post, you know, get a ticker tape parade and the key to the city, a statue and so forth. Alas it is not to be ! I have really run out of ideas / options at this point. Far be it from me, not to take this last opportunity to continue beating the subject to death. I do want to warn people who would like to replace bad capacitors, that most of the capacitors on the board are polar. They have a + and a - wire. The board is marked with a + for the + wire. The negative wire will be marked on the body of the capacitor. Just an FYI. My statue will forever rest off in the boonies, far from the Venture Hall of Heros !
