Ya, ya, ya, ya! You can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think!

But who would have thought a coil would check perfectly good, yet be
bad. And never show faulty when tested. I didn't have a spare coil at
the time to throw in there - and besides - I'm cheap (others say
thrifty, others call it being frugal) - and didn't want to spend the
money until I knew for sure. Well -- that didn't work!

But it's done now. Thanks for offering the help guys - and I will accept
the chiding! LOL!
