during this process I was looking at the duty cycle of the value..

100% duty cycle, but not continuous... what the heck is that? I thought 100 was 100?

anyhow, replaced coil and its working fine.. so, for those that have done the same, check the coil... I started blowing fuses.. every day

Thanks Sam.......

I purchased one awhile ago. Have not gotten to that item yet. I have just a manual valve right now. I will look closely at the specs on my valve......

How's Life Sam.......??
