Re: (take 2) EDP Intermittent Restart Thingie
How was it, and was there much static?
I have had the edp freak from static discharge on the footpedal. Kim
gave me a fix for this. Put a rubber grommet around the quarter inch
plug on the footpedal. This isolates the case from the footpedal
ground.
Static discharge may not be your problem, of course.
