Ok,
I see where your coming from. Hook the first stator to the tank coil. Then hook
the rear staor to ground. That forms up the two caps in series and you insulate
the shaft and the frame. I swear, I've been up way too long. The doc has me on
a new medicine to help stave off some nerve pain I have behing my right eye,
and it's keeping me awake and can't sleep even though I want to. Been like this
now for four nights and it's getting to my thinking. Go see him in a couple of
days and I'll get something done :)
Best,
Will
