NO - I just went and checked it - nothing like working on your Triumph with
the only available light coming from the moon above.... Well - you guessed
it (and I owe you $5 now) - switching the wires between 3rd and 4th cylinder
did the trick - and inspired me to a little midnight run - EXCELLENT. Still
burns oil like crazy (something like a quart for each 100 miles) - but now
'Restore' will run its duties - and then we will see. Keep your fingers
