Re: IML: electronic wire WOES & questions

["JIM LORENZEN" <jdlpdx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Charles,

Others are more up on electric gremlins than I, but it I would check the 
notorious ballast resistor which as I understand it, is by-passed in the 
start position, reduces voltage to the coil in the run position thus keeping 
it cooler. and when it fails you get many of the symptoms you describe.

Good Luck,

Jim L. in OR
