Okay, Dave!
The Tail Twister manual recommends #16 ga minimum up to 100 feet, and #14
for longer runs, and I've found that advice to be very wise.
If yours is more than 5 years old and has never had the starting capacitor
replaced, that's likely the problem, anyway! I note the caps last anywhere
from 5 to 10 years before they need replacement -- any longer than that is
definitely borrowed time.
