Not sure what you wanted me to recheck Steve... but I'm glad I did. Here's the new box I checked yesterday... still the same.

OK, so... turns out I wasn't stoned the other night when I checked. Here's the same drill on the old box.... the one I been running in my bike.

So, on my new box, the negative side of the trigger input goes to the chassis ground... just like the one Steve dissected. The old box.... the one that we know works 'cause it's the one I been road testing.... doesn't. It has a floating input... that's not grounded.
Jack, ohm your box and see what you get? Larry, Jeff and Rudy, if you guys could do the same it might help figure out what's going on.
I've got a ton of stuff to do this week, but I'll try and install the new box and run it tomorrow. See if it acts the same as the old.
