thanks! a thought on the amp gauge. you said at some point that you light red and your gauge were on the same line. is it possible to move either of them to a different switched on circuit? i would go and look at mine but it's all apart right now and i can't remember what i used for my switched source for the MSD. i DO remember that i made it simple so i could easily (no tools) pop my orange box back in if i had a problem. i soaked my first unit in a sudden downpour bombing around with the hood off
