    I forgot to mention, be careful when working or testing with the black/yellow wire, or better known as the ”stop circuit” on the ignition power pack. If you touch this wire or it’s connecting termilals on the ignition switch, with the engine running, you WILL get jolted. Even after the engine is switched off, I would groung out that particular wire to be sure the power pack is completely discharged to ground…. I’ve grabbed a few of those [with the engine not running] and received a pretty good shock, enough to get your attention.
