Re: [DMCForum] Re: Hot Start Fixed?

[Samuel <samuel_yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We pulled it off and put a 12v battery to it. It refused to turn. Did 
the same to Walters (we were swapping parts between the cars), watched 
it open and close fully. Of course, if you look at it right after 
turning the engine off, it is 1/2 way, which is proper. To test, With 
the idle speed regulator in it's normal postion, middle is negative, top 
side will open, bottom side will close.

One thing we did notice is you have to hold power on it for a minute, 
otherwise it will not rotate fully.
