Dear Musky, Resistor change. 2 Years, 10 Months ago  
Hey Musky got around today to swapping out the resistors in the plug caps with the copper wire. will try them out tommrow to see what mine comes out doing. I did find one interesting thing. Do to my lack of use of very much copper wire I bought some #6 copper grounding wire It didn't want to fit in the left bank caps. It was too large. So I went to lowe's and found a #6 grounding wire that fit perfect. Still not sure why the difference in circumference in the wire but am sure there's a reason my small capacity brain just can't comput it Anyway it was an easy mod to do and will see if it runs any different tommrow. Thanks for the info from (RSR).

Martin.

I had another person tell me that too. Don't know what the deal is. It fit in all my caps with room to spare. I'm guessing the wire varies in size along it's length. You might get lucky (like I did) and cut all 4 pieces out of the thin part. Or you might run into the fatter part and they won't fit. Even if it doesn't run any different there's 4 useless parts you don't have to worry about breaking down anymore.
