Bugger it ain't a condenser is it (even if it looks like one) but a resistor, still have no idea what its for and if a bad erth could have been causing problems

Whatever it is, its the thingy on the positive side of the coil that was not making a very good erth because the screw holding it and the coil on, will not tighten up securely. What exactly does it do anyway ?

On or around Wed, 28 Dec 2005 22:24:11 -0000, "Larry" enlightened us thusly:
if it's from the live side of the coil to earth, then it's an interference suppressor. It'll be a capacitor in this case. You can safely remove it...
