is it possible to have multiple wires arc and have nothingwrongwith wires??
Scott,
I agree with you on the RFI and seeking better insulation. Thanks.

Thanks Steve. I suspected the RFI beast to be at play here but I've never
seen anything like this before. It's absolutely silly. Andrew. in article , Steve W. at wrote on 5/5/07 7:09 AM: > The tach freeze is probably related to the arcing wires.
