Yeah, if you let the magic smoke out of electrical things.... well, it's not good and it's usually expensive.

Hi, and thanks for the info. I have a lathe, and made my own head buttons for my .60 and .74 Fox engines. It is really too bad that Duke had to get the no nitro idea in his head, because I have an...
