In the recommended flap circuit, the relays place a short across the motor when power is removed, which greatly reduces coasting. Bob Belshe N19BJ PS: Strangely enough, I have a 1986 150WOG dump valve which has never leaked. When I turn on the master after 24hrs, most of the time the pump does not come on. [Thanks, Bob, you've hit the nail on the head. Testing the actuator didn't require the complete flap circuit and had I had the sense to look at the schematic I would have found the answer. Besides, it's a lot easier (and more fun) to toss out these 'pop quizzes' every now and again, just to make sure that we're all paying attention . Thanks again. ] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML homepage: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html
