Yeah, that makes sense. Thats what I thought at first too, actually had myself convinced of it. After I shorted the box & got spark with the key "on" I just stood at looked at everything for about 20 minutes & never touched a thing b/c I was out of ideas. I put the new magnetic pickup in tonight but they call for some silicone to be used so I'm letting it dry overnight before I try & start it. Fun times....ugh.
