Thank you, Jerry! For the idea and the detailed explanation. I had no idea the points in a regulator moved differently from the points in most other things. (I just repaired our Cuisinart toaster the other day, and I had no idea they had contact points, 2 sets of them, and that was the solution to that problem. Didn't know they use electromagnets to hold the plunger down, either. The older I get, the dumber I feel.) Electric and all it's formulas has always stumped me, and I've spent most of my life working with all kinds of electricity. It's almost like I missed "that week in school" when I was supposed to learn the basics of the subject. I didn't get out there today to check anything since it's been wet, nasty and cold all day. But that will be first on the list, along with what the other ideas above. Thanks again. I'm sure glad this forum is here.
