Thanks!  Pretty neat, could have used it.  Found the problem - one of the
connectors on the full throttle switch was a _little_ loose.  At idle, the
spade lug was horizontal/90degrees to the switch/in the right place.  Rev
it to 3-4k, it vibrated counterclockwise and shorted out on the bracket.
Lots of fun finding that one......
