starting problem

[Dlcarrales]

My problem was the black start button.  Got it going last night.  Used compressed air, roughed up the contacts with some steel wool, and then ever so gently pried them up a bit so they would make good contact.  Also turned the spring around.  I know its going to be a temporary fix though, the plastic seems to be melting.

David, if you got good contact now you probably got rid of the resistance and therefore the heat that it creates.  As long as your contacts are making good, the plastic probably will stop melting.

Just remember to clean them again before the resistance starts so there won't be enough heat to further melt the plastic.  If you wait until it starts giving you trouble again, then the plastic may be past the point of no return the next time.
